Sure it had some issues, but it was a GIANT leap for an OS from a user perspective. For cryin' out loud it came with a web browser. In reality, the Mac OS has never made a change that huge. Sure it's gotten prettier over time and yes there's a whole lot of attention to design details, but the jump from windows 3 to Win95 was ginormous! (Interfacewise) Vista was a big change from 98 as well, but it was mostly a change of focus that most users didn't understand. The new security mostly annoyed folks. Many of those annoyances have been corrected for Win7. (I must add that UAC isn't anywhere near as annoying as having to enter a password to run updates or install a new app on my Mac Mini) When it comes to innovation I must ask the Mac folks what Apple is doing to encourage devs to use parallel processing and 64-bit? That's where innovation will be tomorrow. When Windows 95 was released it was incredible. Sure it had some issues, but it was a GIANT leap for an OS from a user perspective.
