In my opinion, the reason to upgrade to the next operating system is NOT the big, heavily advertised features. It is the very numerous small "detail" features. This is a bad example because it's not very important and its not really what I consider a "detail" feature per se...but more of one than others... but... Guest accounts.

What makes you use Guest accounts a lot? Just curious. They have been around on Windows forever and I don't know about others but I find myself to never really use them. It seems like an interesting feature but the need to use it has honestly never come up.

I agree with you there. Like the tiny appearance changes from Panther to Tiger, and the fact that the Tiger Apple Menu is corner activated, while the Panther one wasn't... Etc.

Exactly. A few other examples include the mouse-over definitions, improvement to spell-checker and font and style management across the entire OS. Menu bar look is better now. Lots of little stuff.

The guest account wasn't a very good example, but I probably would use it if I had it. I don't like people using my account and I don't want to create an account just for them. What I was getting at was that it is the little features that continually make the OS more and more robust.

Ah, I've found that I usually just let people use my account. But I haven't been in that position much so it's hard to say.
I have two accounts on my laptop, one is "Lord of the Root" (for me) and one is "Puny Humans" (for everyone else, requires no password to log in).
I have me, my wife, my buddy, and "DJ Chaos" (no password required) so when we party anyone can adjust the playlist. I may use that Lord of the Root. That is pretty good.

The problem is rendering speed, not complexity.

Right, I imagine they have thought of that already.

More logical than using X or Y.
But, they could have left out the stars and other eyecandy. Silly!
