What’s Worse: OS X Spinning Beach Ball, Vista Spinning Ring or Black Friday Waiting Lines?
Chances are that today you have been waiting in line to get you further in debt at some electronics store. Good. That’s how America reactivates the economy. Meanwhile, Giz reader OMGponies wrote to us proposing an idea for a Question of the Day. After having to go through a Java update in Vista, he was wondering what is worse: Waiting for Mac OS X’s Spinning Beach Ball of Death or Vista’s Spinning Ring of Death? I would add something else: Are any of those dreadful icons comparable to the Wedding Ring of Death waiting in line for Black Friday deals? Hookay. You may ignite your flamethrowers in the comments… now.

Actually, Joeseph, in Mac OS X you can just press command-option-esc, which works in the same fashion as ctrl-alt-del.
they occur from different situations, the beachballs worse, because it only comes up when somethings not working, the ring (to rule all?) just telling you to wait. that or vista stuffs up so much more.
but from the look of them, the ring is better, the balls just so annoying… and dated. they need something new in OSX. bring waiting into the 21st century.
vista is the worst- the ring will NEVER stop spinning!
