>>APPLE GET THIS THING AS FAST IF NOT FASTER THAN OS 9.1!

An unpleasant truth: it never will be on the same hardware. One thing a "more advanced" OS requires is more overhead -- e.g., the...

Wow, Gilsch2, I'm not sure if you appreciate how central MS Office is in most places, and for most people. Sure, "Apple's bread and butter are the printing, video editing, publishing markets," but...

Agreed -- I find the Intellimouse Explorer excellent. Two buttons on top, two on side, optical. Not everything works yet under X, but I'm sure it will. And comfortable on the hand.

Nice post, wadesworld...

I don't see much incentive at all for Apple to release X on Intel. From both a financial (profit on boxes, threatening Office) and development (hardware variance,...

Yeah, I think we all agree, RAM is super cheap, and certainly lots of us have some adjustments to make. We were used to how OS9 used memory; now we need to get used to how X does,...

Why, exactly, "should" it have been here by now? I, for one, would rather a more complete, better, and later update.

NDBounce, as much as I've loved playing with X at home, there's just no way it's going on my "mission-critical" machine yet. Nope.
