If it weren't for that god-awful dock, I might have actually considered buying a Macintosh. Unfortunately for Apple (OK, they seem to have done alright anyway) I just couldn't get past the repugnant uselessness of this apparatus. With the cool floating effect, I had to scrub the icons to reveal names and pick the one I wanted. Without the effect, it was just a bunch of big icons I rarely used, with some ambiguous facility for switching between already-running applications.

Apparently, I'm not the only one who feels this way.
