Pros: Great looking, stable graphics. Cons: Most of the applications that I need it for don't exist.
I am not a technical person. I have been using Apple computers for the past 20 years for their ease of use and the wide range of available applications. I was more than happy to upgrade to the iMac. And when it came time to upgrade to OS 9.1, I...
Pros: Aqua interface is elegant and productive, Darwin core is stable and familiar Cons: Lack of apps at this time. Dual OS hot swapping takes time
The Act
Ever since owning a Commodore64 in the eighties, I have been a staunch Wintel PC user, which is exactly why even I was surprised at what happened yesterday morning. I walked into Fry's to pick up a paper shredder and this year's...
Pros: Unix power and stability, Macintosh usability and application support. Cons: Unix system resource requirements, Macintosh interface flexibility.
When I told my friends I'd bought a Macintosh, they were stunned. After all, for the decade-plus I've been working with computers, I'd never once owned a Mac, and had generally been of the rather well-informed opinion, based on using them, that they...
Pros: Stable, Stable, Stable, great graphics, faster load time than previous Cons: Not full 3rd party support yet
I bought an iBook a few months ago (unfortunately, epinions lost my review about 3 months ago and never found it - I haven't had the motivation to sit down and write about the computer again since then). It came with OS 9.1 and OS X installed. I first...
Pros: Pretty interface! It's more stable, and more attractive to use. Cons: Not much to run on it, and a host of problems with compatibility.
Pros: Pretty! It's more stable, more attractive to use.
Cons: Not much to run on it, and a host of problems with compatibility.
Recommended: No
Bottom Line: X doesn't offer real advantages as an OS at the moment. But in the future......
Pros: Stability, Functionality, Appearence, Smoothness, and did I mention Stability Cons: No Software Base Station, Applicaitons are coming out slowly
About two and 1/2 months ago I bought an OS X upgrade on an offer that seemed good. I was waiting to upgrade the computers in my home because of some of the stories I heard about hardware not being supported, software not working...etc.
Pros: Photo real icons, dock bar, smb sharing, multitask, more stable than OS9 Cons: Some hacking involved, puny SMB features, not many progs, poor support. Overrated.
I am one of the first adopters of OSX 10.0 in April 2001 and was sold the operating system by Apple sales person at Apple inc with the impression that OSX was much more evolved than it was. There were some insanely stupid bugs like clicking the finder onc ...
Pros: Stability, compatibility, GUI Cons: Missing features, system requirements
Unix what? ;-)
Macintosh users have been waiting a long time for a fast, stable, operating system; I have been no exception. Seeing Mac OS 8 as a smokescreen, I have been watching Mac OS X shape up in its various forms, and after wetting my...
Pros: Advanced, secure, great for multiple users, never locks up, gorgeous GUI Cons: Advanced
MacOS X truly is "the world's most advanced operative system." It's tricky to use at first as it isn't an update of MacOS - it's an entire new OS from Apple. But when you get used to it, it's fast, professional and easy to use. The astonishing GUI is the...
Pros: Great Multitasking, Unix layer, Nice Development Support Cons: GUI is slow, Finder has rough edges, Hardware support is still weak
I've been using Mac OS X exclusively on my Power Mac G4 for just about four months now, ever since I got my student developer copy in the mail. Overall, I'd have to say, this OS has allowed me to do A LOT more with my Mac than I could have ever done with...
Pros: a solid unix core Cons: not enough software support...yet
I have a relative that works at one of the largest Mac using companies in Northern California with hundreds of Macs and even more than they have of PCs! Now that is a rarity in this day and age. When thinking of moving their Mac systems from OS 8 and 9...
Pros: Almost UNBREAKABLE. Extremly Stable. Very Pretty. Cons: Slow response to User Interface Elements. Questionable usability issues. Limited Software Available that is Native
I have been a dedicated Mac user since 1985 (except for that little stint from 93-97 – damn those Performas). I have been a whole hearted supported even every time my 7.1 locked up. Now I am happy.
Pros: Stability, underlying (but well hidden) Unix, great platform Cons: missing commercial apps
Me, myself and Mac
1998 I realized that there will always be this final frontier, a borderline I would not be able to cross using BSD exclusively on all my machines. Games, for example. Deeply disgruntled with Microsofts FUD, general...
Pros: Protected memory, advanced memory management, pre-emptive multitasking, instantaneous wake from sleep Cons: Bunch of little bugs all over, lack of native apps currently
My opinion title was taken from my co-worker who dropped by my desk the other day and was immediately drawn to my TiBook and then the OS desktop when I turned off the screen saver. I think it pretty much says it all. I have been using Mac OS X on my...
Pros: Powerful yet easy to use, beautiful graphics, simple navigation, UNIX kernel Cons: It's only Version 0. Version X.1 due out soon!!
UPDATE: July 22, 2002
It's been 1 year since I wrote the review below. I'm using Mac OS X.1.5 and love it. I'm programming in PERL and Java, using the UNIX command line interface. Both compilers (for PERL and Java) are bundled in OSX, so I...
Mac OS will give your Macintosh a dramatic new look and feel, along with all kinds of enhanced capabilities for accessing the Internet. It will also s...More at eBay
