I'm getting OS X PB as soon as I can at home, testing carefully before installing it at work. Honest to God, Quartz is a gift from the heavens! Mr.F

Adoption of OS X — #18

A for my home machine (dual booting with 9 just in case) and E at work (where 8.6 is still just fine).

Adoption of OS X — #17

I'm voting A...but cautiously. It'll get installed on a separate partition on the external HD. That way it can't hurt anything if it decides to go nuclear.

I'll probably go with A & C. I'll get it b/c I want to play with it but I don't think I'll install it on my main machine until all the kinks are worked out. I have a lot of exp…

I contradicted myself? Sorry, I don't see how...you know how we dumb people need things like this pointed out to one another =). N.P about the mistaken identities.

I�ve basically already said what you said Blizzard but without contradicting myself - "My understanding is if the OS crashes the computer goes down with it. Applications cannot br…

I'm not sure if OS X will have themes built in to it, does anyone know yet? I do know that kaliedoscope as well as a whole range of GUI groups are working on having software read…

Adoption of OS X — #11

I use 8.6 as well. I just dont like how "girly" and "Happy gay yippeee" OS9 looks with its cutesy little graphics and stuff. Which brings me to my main concern about OSX. Is i…

My understanding is if the OS crashes the computer goes down with it. Applications cannot bring down everything like they can now, but system problems will still be present. Window…

A! Everyone seem's to be forgetting this thing has protected memory so it can't freeze your whole computer, which I think is a pretty big bonus for a beta program (I have read a po…

Adoption of OS X — #8

Probably option D or E for me. I doubt I'll be one of the early adopters of the new OS - but then again, if the feedback in these fora is positive enough, perhaps I might. The thin…

Adoption of OS X — #7

I am still using 8.6 on a G3 - and have had no problems. I don�t have much time to try to work with bugs in the system. So, I would probably say choice �D� in the list above. N…

'E' because i think it would be better to wait for the creases to be iorned out. Theres a hell of a lot of software for OS9, and although OS9 apps will work on OSX, i think it will…

A & C. (if it's ok to choose 2 ) I don't even have OS 9 right now. I'm still using 8.6!! It's kinda nice though, I still haven't been convinced to switch to 9, but Aqua…

"A". Those were good in school too. Since I already got the 2nd HD, and the bigger monitor for OS X Beta, it would look very silly to back out now. That would make it look much…

I will have to go with option "A" as well. Although I may opt for "B" only waiting for a week or two to see what kind of bugs PB has.

Okay, I have reserves about buying OS X... From what I can tell, I don't think I will like it as much as I do OS 9. I wanna know what everyone else thinks... Will you: A) get OS X…
