Tried and true.
Lately I have been using linux (Mandrake and RedHat) and windows (2000) more and more. As far as usability they both still suck. I can always go back to my mac and have the simplest things "just work" as they should. Granted, I'm beyond biased on this since I've been using a mac since 1991 (yeah yeah...I'm no 31337 Apple build-your-own-from-Radio-Shack hax0r...so piss off).
What led me to this amazing plonk of clarity all of a sudden?
Well, I was reading mail on my linux box through a telnet session (this is where a number of you will point out that Mac OS 9.x and all previous version didn't come with a built-in telnet like windows or linux, which is fine because I downloaded a better one for mac) and came across a URL in a message. Now if you are on windows or linux you can copy the URL, then switch to a browser and paste the URL and you are happy (this again is a place where users of Evolution, Eudora, or even Outlook will point out that those uber-email readers highlight the URL and let you simply click on them as if they were web page links...or maybe you are a gnome-terminal user and like that stupid way you can right-click on a URL and get a new browser window with that URL...whatever). But all I do is command+click (a pretty common thing for mac users) and it opens in the foremost IE window. But I can also double-click, which highlights the URL and then drag the highlighted text to a browser window of my choice and drop it on the window and it loads the URL.
Drag and drop folks. It still only works right on one platform. Mac OS. Mac OS X is still kinda weird about it, but it is still better than Windows or Linux.
