B.S.

There are many, many things that you can configure in, for instance, KDE, that you cannot configure in Mac OS X.

For instance, window focus policy.

People want their computer to “just work,” until it doesn’t work like they want it to work.

The UI has quirks that are not necessarily the best solution, like leaving a program running after closing all of its windows.

Meanwhile, Apple is changing fundamental behavior in Lion, like how scrolling works.

Meanwhile, Apple is changing fundamental behavior in Lion, like how scrolling works.

Scrolling is configurable for anyway you like it in Lion. Mac OS X is highly configurable.

The default configuration has changed because most people on Macs now use a Trackpad instead of a mouse. Does your Linux box have a Trackpad? Probably not.

Here is how you change the scrolling:
1. Go to System Preferences: 2. Go to the Trackpad tab: 3. Configure scrolling the way you want. Notice that there is an animation on the right that will show how you have the system configured and will reflect any changes you make to the configuration. Does your Linux box have a video like this to show how you have the system configured?

As for scroll bars, you can configure that as well:
1. Again, go the System Preferences.
2. Select the General tab.
3. Configure it the way you want:

Does your Linux box give you this variety of configuration options?
