I can tell you that SOLAR is a thousand times better than ROSI (other than waiting lists).
Really? I've only heard a few people complain about ROSI. But man, UofT is a huge university compared to Mac, so imagine that...

OR the real problem are the students who obsess over having the "perfect timetable".
Just kidding. : )

I used ROSI this year and it took me 2 hours to choose 2 courses. Not to mention that there is millions of times more button spamming than SOLAR.

Fact: 99.975% of McMaster drop outs cite SOLAR as their reason for failing to complete their degree requirements.
finally get into course selection
but when i click modify for a course
if freezes and when i try to save changes, it says to wait for loading page
refreshed and got booted out
AWESOME !!!!!!!!!!!!
So I got onto SOLAR FINALLY! And then I selected the course I wanted and the whole thing froze and logged me off!!!!!!! I am sooo angry right now.

I've seen quite a few Facebook statuses of people going "FFFFFFFFFFFFF goddamn ROSI!!!!".
At least SOLAR sounds better than ROSI... which both sound over 9000 times better than Waterloo's "Quest".

That might do the trick. With less froshies trying to get in next year, we may have some more luck with SOLAR!! Diabolical, isn't it?

DDDDDD:
But at least they actually have waiting lists. Here everyone just fights to get into whatever class is open.
re-your other point:
Maybe so but at the cost of frustrating the majority of its students? Probably not a very good business plan on the university's part. >.<
