if felt it was cumbersome like windows. i guess it was easy to use - 
but i never really "got" the interface. i just like my OS to be more 
along the lines of real OS - real multi-tasking, protected kernel 
space, etc. i didn't use OS 9 much - but i worked at a place with a 
large design shop and they were always crapping out. i equated them to 
win95. that's just my opinion. it has taken me a while to get used to 
the OS X interface - but having used the various linux desktops 
probably helped me to get up to speed faster.
