No reason to believe it's fixed? How about multiple people telling you it is? Besides, how hard would it be to just give it a try yourself? I'm sure you can find someplace near you that has 10.4 installed. I suspect you don't want to, because that would hurt your argument.
As for "broken" - I think that's sort of a loaded term. It's true that in 10.3 and earlier there were issues with Finder windows (and the like) being slow to update. I have no idea what Apple did, but that particular issue has completely changed for the better in 10.4. Give it a try.
My point as to security was to mirror your "method" of ignoring improvements that have come out in recent years. Security in XP (as originally released) was atrocious. It's improved greatly since then. But if I purchased a machine with the original XP, by your logic, I could assume it hadn't improved. Not only that, but I could announce it to the world.
The main gist of my disagreement with you is that you're comparing an OS that won't be released for half a year (or more), with one that's been out of date for over a year. And yet you seem to think it's a valid comparison. Compare with 10.4 if you like (even though 10.5 may well be out by the time Vista is), but to compare with 10.3 is just silly.
