@mjtsai One factor in Snow Leopard’s apparent resilience: Core Duo Macs can’t upgrade past 10.6.
@mjtsai I’d almost go back just to get Finder windows to resize properly again. Annoys me >50 times a day, and 10.8 made it even worse.

@stormchild My 10.8 annoyance is that the Finder no longer remembers my windows between reboots. -
@mjtsai Try disabling the “Restore windows” setting, then close/reopen System Prefs and turn it back on. Did that make it stick? -
@stormchild There is no more “restore windows” setting, only “Close windows when quitting,” which I’ve unchecked. -
@mjtsai Oh yeah. Try *checking* that, close/reopen, then uncheck. It fixed a couple apps for me that weren’t honoring that setting. -
@stormchild OK, I’ll try that. Thanks. Are you also getting duplicate copies of login items in the Dock, even with restoration off? -
@mjtsai Haven’t seen that one. What does it look like? Redundant launch of same thing? Icon appears, disappears, then reappears? -
@stormchild Two icons in Dock, seemingly one normally running copy of app, plus one copy that’s hung. Happens most for Growl and Wedge. -
@mjtsai That’s pretty weird. I’d try rebuilding the Launch Services DB:https://gist.github.com/4073056
