I'm definitely looking forward to picking up a CD with OS X beta at MWNY this July.
I know it will run on my Rev.A iMac. But is there any possibility that OS X will run on my Powe…

go to your room, sit in the corner, look at the wall.
you must not have worked with dp3 or dp4.
when os x is released you will be mad at apple because it could have been done muc…

Hey, be nice. Realistically, the average Joe will not need OS X until Jan. 2002, by my guess. There are certainly enough developers and such, but it will take time for even the m…

Do we need MacOS X?
[sarcasm]
Obviously not. It is going to force us to sacrifice extension conflicts and system crashes.
My system has been tweaked to the point where I can rest…

wlonh, what is this FUD thing you talked about?
Really, I know many of you have used complex operating systems such as UNIX, Linux and Mac OS X is a breeze for you to use. But I …

Idler- fitting name. You can continue to use System 6 because we really don't need good support for color, and who needs that crazy "multifinder" anyway? I need to conserve proce…

Orbit, let's be sensible here, don't compare oranges with apples. The topic is meant for discussions.
Do We Really Need Mac OS X? — #8
Okay- here's the deal. You may be fine with the way things are, but there are problems with the Mac OS at a very low level which Apple can't continue to patch forever. In order t…

Idler, the question you ask is whether OS X will ultimately benefit the 'ignorant' end user (ignorant signifying a lack of knowledge about the OS innards, as well as a lack of inte…

The previous two explanations are well received. But do you think wouldn't it be better if Apple has built a new Mac OS on new technologies but that it has the same files structur…

aqua is meant to draw people's attention
cocoa, quartz, quicktime and darwin are meant to keep their attention.
it is speculated that there will be a way to turn aqua off and use a…

To he who is idle;
You certainly have a right to an opinion.
Those of us however, who work in digital video or audio would love a more stable os to work in.
To the people complain…
Do We Really Need Mac OS X? — #14
No, I am not complaining at all. I am just putting the topic out for discussions. I still think if Apple develop a new Mac OS version, call it what you like, that install and wor…

Hi,
The current Mac OS, under the hood, is a total POS. There's NO WAY to patch it or pump it up to run like it should. It's too old and out of date. I wouldn't want it running o…

This all brings up a good topic...
When the imac was released, apple started on something new, and it sold like hotcakes....generally to people who never owned a computer. So as a…

You may be disagreeing with me but I think Mac OS X as we have seen so far is too unneccessary complicated for the average users. I think Apple has more of a marketing focus in mi…

Idler, you just basically described Mac OS X (which, by the way, is pronounced 'Mac OS Ten). When you use the current Mac OS, you don't see anything going on behind the scenes- yo…

I have used both dp3 and dp4 extensively. While dp4 is much more elegant than the past versions, there are some problems with this os in my opinion...
The file system is a mess. …

Thanks prophei. Now are the things described in the last post about OS X, sound like the current Mac OS to anyone?

NO.. FOR THE LOVE OF GOD DOES ANYONE AROUND HERE LISTEN TO ANYTHING THAT DOESN'T DIRECTLY SUPPORT THEIR MESSED UP VIEWPOINTS?? the current OS X doesn't even resemble the FINAL OS …

OK Orbit, thanks for your good contributions in this topic and other topics as well. I must say that I am not keen on OS X. I see OS 9 as a very good operating system and I will …

Idler, in the long run that'll be the best thing for everyone I should think. The first few months of Mac OS X will be filled with conflicts, problems, incompatibilities, the whole…
