Fun at your expense--**HUMOR ALERT!!! HUMOR ALERT!!!**

This is just all part of the 'start up mode' that is in place at Apple. One wonders when they'll ever finish starting up. I've worked for alot of startups and most of them had more commitment to design up front (as opposed to on the fly) and product quality than Apple has for the last several years.
Safari was clearly not ready. Given the alternatives available (Camino, Mozilla) there was no excuse to rush Safari out.
IMO OS X is still not ready to be called a 1.0 release. Printing and SCSI are both in horrid shape and kernel panics are far too common for a released Unix system. I should get one kernel panic a year on a heavily used system, not 3 a month. Compare the fit and finish of OS 9.2.2 to OS X 10.2.6 and you can easily see that OS X is immature. Sure, it has some great things and some great potential. But that doesn't mean it was ready to ship.
Apple's startup mode is slowly eroding it away. Products like iPhoto that are designed on the fly show that while there are some good ideas in the product, that this type of development process is majorly flawed. iPhoto is a total slug. Even with relatively small libraries. I shudder to think of the experience of a Soccer Mom on even a dual 1.25 GHz with a gig of RAM.
Middle Management at Apple needs to start being accountable for their jobs. If there is a mandate that conflicts with doing their job well, grow a pair, stand up and fight for it. It's your responsibility to do so! There's far too much ostrichism going on, too much burying of heads in the sand. Stand up tall! Open your eyes! Take Action!
Steve needs to STOP micro managing every project. While he can at times be visionary and brilliant, he's far from a UI or design expert.
And for god's sake, stop piling features on a sluggish, unoptimized, rushed out OS. Commit to tightening it up and making the OS FAST. Stop trying to hide speed issues by shipping dual processor configs. You're not fooling anyone. Everone knows OS X is slow. FIX IT. You've got the talent, just commit to the effot. Believe me, it'll be more than worth it.
I just couldn't resist:
This is just all part of the "troll mode" that is in place in these forums. One wonders when you'll ever stop trolling. I've seen a lot of trolls and most of them had more commitment to post planning up front (as opposed to on the fly), not hitting the space bar twice every third space, and post quality than you have for the last several posts.
Your post was clearly not ready. Given the alternatives available (3.1416, rjwill246) there was no excuse to rush it out.
IMO your post is still not ready to be called a 1.0 release. Grammar and spell-checking are still in horrid shape and typos are far too common for a post on MacRumors. There should be one typo a post on a long one, not 3 a paragraph. Compare the fit and finish of rjwill246's posts to yours and you can easily see that you are immature. Sure, your post has some great things and some great potential. But that doesn't mean it was ready to post.
Your troll mode is slowly eroding you away. Posts like this one that are written on the fly show that while there are some good ideas in the post, that this type of writing process is majorly flawed. You are a total slug. Even with relatively simple concepts. I shudder to think of the experience of a Soccer Mom on these forums.
Middle Management in your brain needs to start being accountable for their jobs. If there is a mandate that conflicts with doing their job well, grow a pair, stand up and fight for it. It's your responsibility to do so! There's far too much ostrichism going on, too much burying of heads in the sand. Stand up tall! Open your eyes! Take Action!
You need to STOP trolling in every thread. While you can at times be visionary and brilliant, you're far from an Apple or Mac expert.
And for god's sake, stop piling words on a sluggish, unoptimized, rushed out post. Commit to tightening it up and making the post CLEAR. Stop trying to hide intelligence issues by writing posts that are twice as long. You're not fooling anyone. Everone knows you're a troll. FIX IT. You've got the talent, just commit to the effo(r)t. Believe me, it'll be more than worth it.

No offense intended--really! I don't think you're really a troll, and I know there are a few things above that are blatantly untrue. PLEASE take it as a joke and not a personal attack. I apologize a thousand times. I won't do it again. But like I said, I couldn't resist. 
Sorry again
