macosx has legacy file system: 31 char filaneme length limit!
Mac os x 10.7 (lion) by default (pre-installed OS on Air) has filename length limit of 31 chars (with extension). With manuals (pdf documents) being downloaded from support.apple.com frequently violateing that limit makes me wonder why the hell are they using such a legacy FS. This reminds me of world of windows 3.1 and OS/2 (when on old good FAT16 with its 8.3 char limit; native OS/2 HPFS didn't have such limit).
Want/have Macos, still hope for good usability?! Give them money, forget about usability, it's apple's concern now. They are going to pay dividends to shareholders this year, that's where apple's real usability lies. Definitely not in hell bunch of 'little' mac os x issues.
