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 …

I am getting my LinuxPPC pretty soon. I hope it is better that that stinky Aqua!!!!

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…

Hi, Quote: You can place things in the global system area, in the users area, in the local area...see my point? No I don't. How is this any different than t…

The difference is that it matters in osx which folder some of these things are placed in, and it can be confusing which one is correct. In the current mac os, you can place anythin…

Hi, How do you figure all that? Scott H.

Simple magic and blind arrival at illogical conclusions, that's how! (sorry, sarcasm alert-- you really need to do more research though before spouting off about files being in "r…

So, I assume that you are telling me that if I have an app that requires certain libraries, It does not matter in which of the 2 or 3 possible library folders I put this required l…

This whole thread has become a waste of electrons. It's like expectant parents looking at the first ultrasound of their yet-unborn child and saying "I don't like him - he's ugly." …

But it's a damn cool fetus thus far!

To answer the original question. All that Darwin, BSD, Cocoa, and Quartz stuff, is only for programmers to worry about. The new interface will be much easier to use, because OSX …

Prophei- take a look at www.arstechnica.com. They have a really good review outlining the way libraries and frameworks are set up in OS X. I think after reading this your opinio…

Hi, I was just think that the Ars DP4 report is just the thing here. It's a good read. Scott H.

I read the article. It was very interesting. My main point was not so much that I was having trouble (it is a little confusing sometimes, but I have gotten used to it), but that th…

All I can say is, you can't judge it until you use it, and you also can't judge it until it gets to its proper form, that of the beta. Frankly, I like what I've seen thus far and …

I'm not sure that the "UNIX Stuff" will be taken away so much as GUI'fied. There is a certain amount of risk in letting a novice user have root (it should be 'root', not 'Administr…

theMacDude is right, I believe. So much for the "honest OS" stuff we talked about in the "X Mac OS" thread, eh Orbit? Oh well, as long as it works. The reason for all this is th…

I wonder if DOS users had the same complaints when windows 1 came out... or if windows 3.11 users complained about the completely different Win 95 layout... or how NT isn't really …

When buying a new Mac, we always have to dish-out additional $180 for RAM, and it's something we really cannot get later on, the OS needs that much RAM(32MB at least). Mac OSX kno…

Pardon me, but what the hell are you talking about? $180 for RAM?? Maybe for a really cheap 256MB module or a ridiculously overpriced 128MB module. And what do you mean you can'…

I think one of the reasons OSX was developed is because Windows seems to be consistently growing closer and closer to the look and feel of OS8/9, and Apple wanted to stray away int…

Karl, Apple prefers HFS+ over UFS simply for migration issues: people can upgrade to OS X and install it over their current HD info without reformatting if they keep HFS+ for a wh…

Have you ever eaten raw dough, or uncooked eggs? Wait until the bread is baked before thou judgeth.

Wiseguy, don't ask questions you're not prepared to hear the answer to. By the way, for the original topic question the answer is, "yes."
