Been a Mac evangelist for years, and I'm growing more embittered to say that this is such a typical Apple move.


Great "new" features are announced - new only to Mac users, for the most part - only to find out the very real shortcomings upon implementation. My gripe is largely with server-side / groupware features of various flavors of OS X Server (remember "shared calendaring" with iCal... oh yeah, just so long as you don't want to change anybody else's calendar).


Spotlight, as it turns out, only works on local volumes... unless you care to run a command line hack every time you log into a shared volume.


Are these huge? Not really, but it's real disappointment... again.
