5.0 out of 5 starsThe best OS out there. Period.
By A Customer on February 3, 2002
I used to hate Macs especially because of their OS. It was old, unstable and Mac users had to wait ages for updates which they had to pay to get.
Well, MacOS X, is by far the most complete and beautifully engineered OS out there (at least on a commercial basis). It is based on NeXT (using the Mach ker.nel) and BSD -- a feature which offers a lot to someone coming from a UNIX platform -- and clearly the best GUI out there.
Some may argue that it is not as polished as it could, but, hey, what is? Windows or Linux? Besides, Apple is releasing free *until now* revisions for download every couple of months and it has improved a lot since 10.0. (the current version at the time of writing is 10.1.2). Release 10.2 is rumoured to have great new features old Mac users requested as well as more language packs and a speedier Quartz. (the graphics engine)
I recommend this to anyone open-minded enough to leave windows behind him/her.

4.0 out of 5 starsVery nearly there.
By Jonathan on November 23, 2001
I suspect the only thing better than the 10.1 revision to the long, long, long awaited next generation Mac OS, is what we'll see from Apple in the next 12 months. What they've done up until now has been remarkably bold: they have gambled their installed base for the sake of their future. OK, so they had no choice. After all, slowing market share hemorrage does little to guarantee the future of the company.
But truly, the creation of this operating system is beyond gutsy. After all, this isn't a company that initially dealt well with the open source culture, with troublesome software developers, with pissed off consumers.
I'd love for Apple to be free to innovate outside of the market, to be the XEROX PARC sort of techno-wizzes who so inspired Steve in the late 1970Õs. The creation of superior products does little to guarantee a profits, market share, or even the future of a corporation. With OS X Apple has struck a good balance: They released an amazingly stable, attractive, and powerful OS; they came in basically on schedule; they are developing a unified brand built around the possibilities of the Mac as the a part of our digital lifestyles. That sounds hokey. It sounds even more hokey when Steve stands there and talks about computers serving as tools that truly improve the way we live. With OS X they have married zealous techno-wizardry with the practical concerns of a profit driven company.
This is a fine product with a fantastically positive future. It's light years ahead of OS 9 (and I do like OS 9, despite my better judgment).
Yes, there are headaches here for some users. It's not an upgrade you can make without feeling it. But if youÕre comfortable with early adoption (and who are we kidding, this is still fairly early in the cycle for such a dramatically different operating system), the benefits far outweigh the pain.
Good luck.

5.0 out of 5 starsOnly if you want to fly!!!
By Alamin Ahmed on May 10, 2002
Two computers are side by side in my desk. XP in Desktop (1Ghz with 256MB) and OS X in PowerBook G4 (400Mhz with 256). It is shame for intel architecture and Microsoft programmers that with so fast machine from intel and so promesing OS from Microsoft can't even come close to the 400Mhz G4 CPU running OS X. The result is simple. My Desktop intel computer is on sale on eBay while I fly with OS X. Not once (3 months) I needed to restart. I almost feel as if I am running faster then my desktop machine (1Ghz). This is imagine... Software? what kind of software do you need? I have installed Photoshop 7, Office X, Dreamweaver MX, Flash MX, MSN Messanger... all the stuffs I used to have in XP there is same version in Mac OS X. Guys, do some change, see the outside and future, try mac... I have done it...

5.0 out of 5 starsThe stability of Linux with the ease of a mac
By C. S. Laird on December 19, 2001
As tacky as this sounds, I've always said that Mac is for people who don't care how their computer works; Windows is for people who like to think they know how their computer works; and Linux is for people who actually can make it work. And while I've always loved the simplicity of running a Mac, I've opted for Linux the past few years because, well, once you've run two ssh windows, three ftp windows, Gimp, and about twenty different web pages without a single glich, you just can't go back! The downside being you have to practically live with a sys-admin to keep it upgraded and happy.
Well, my sys-admin got tired of sharing and picked me up an iMac with OSX and it is soooo fabulous! A beautiful gui, easy to use, and the stability of Unix. Best yet, it plays well with my husband's herd of Linux computers upstairs, even letting me use my favorite programs and futz around with my beloved terminal windows when the whim strikes.
Itunes is an absolute dream -- just put in the cd and it does *everything* else. And now that I have an Ipod too, I feel truly spoiled.
Lack of software, drivers, and that sort of thing is a definite downside, and flipping back to 9 for my son's games can be a little slow, but hopefully that will be straightened out soon.
Stable, attractive, fun and easy to use, I would recommend this to almost anyone. But maybe that's just the iPod talking ;-)

5.0 out of 5 starsRemarkably stable
By Greg Nyquist on February 6, 2002
I was hesitant to take the plunge from OS 9 to OS X, but a series of crashes in December forced my hand. I've been running OS X nearly two months now and it hasn't crashed yet. Even the programs running on it, whether natively or in the classic environment, are more stable.
Yet this is not all. I have been able to free alternatives to most of the software I was running on OS 9. I found free updates for Appleworks, Scanwise, Netscape, AOL, BBeditLIte, and iCab on the web. And thanks to the Unix core of OS X, I was able to install an X11 GUI and run Opensource programs like Gimp, ImageMagick, & Dillo. There are several Unix experts working on making it easy for Mac users to install and use Opensource software on their computers. Some of these Unix programs (especially Gimp, the Unix alternative to Photoshop) are remarkable. And some of this Unix software is being "frontended" to run in the OS X Aqua GUI. This means the availability of a lot of free software for the Mac, including fax software (Cocoa eFax), language translation programs (WordLookup), and photo retouching software (PixelNhance). We can only imagine what things will be like a year from now, when many more programs have been written or compiled for OS X.
There are, to be sure, a few irritations that go along with upgrading to an operating system that is very much different to what had been run on the Mac before. You can't move files around as freely as they use to, and the OS tries to force users to conform to the Unix directory structure at the base of the computer. There's also no spring-loaded folders and it's a little slower than OS 9. The most serious flaw, however, has to do with support of 3rd party hardware.Read more ›
