Sorry for puttting this in so many diffrent replies. Yes I know and love terminal. What I meant was applications that interface with the system more and also the unix base. Apple did a good job though with some of the apps in the devloper's cd.

Here is my opinion.

-X11 should ship with the OS preinstalled
Sounds good, but I go with the idea of make it simple and let the advanced people make it hard.

-A single user mode, that assumes that you are the root and admin user so you don't have to always enter passwords
Already there, hold Command-S when you boot
-More professional grade apps
Ummm.  Well I think this request should be on the "Linux" side of things.  Apple has the support of all the big App makers, Adobe, MS, Macromedia, etc.
-More system apps like terminal
I don't understand this one, there are a lot of apps for system stuff other than the terminal, Directory Access, Process Viewer, CPU Monitor, ODBC Manager, NetInfo, and Network Utility
-Runs '.exe' programs (i wish)
Umm no, these are called viruses, and would most likely violate US copywrite laws.


I would like to have a package or something that installs all libraries that are on most Linux systems, OSX doesn't even come with Glib, and that stops most linux apps from compiling.

choasforages:
better intagrate classic into the system.
turn quartz into a networked protocal simaler to X11.
on that matter, opensource the quartz api
ship with some version of the *BSD's ports system if they don't already. and make an easy to use graphical interface for it.
add support for quad processors.
add support for .net. i know that sounds hypocritical, but it is going to become wide spread becuase of a certain company in redmond that has too much money and influence for our good. so why not use an opensource implementation like mono, before microsoft builds a crippled implementation for the mac.

I still don't understand why anyone would want to run *.exe programs on their Mac.  I can see doing this with Linux, but think about it, the only Windows programs that haven't been ported to Mac OS are basically viruses, spyware and shareware programs.  And a few g@m3s.
