I went on and wrote a review about MacOSX 10.0.4 a month ago, but it was never finished as I had to fly to France for my own wedding. I came back and MacOSX 10.1 had been released. I scrapped completely the old text, as 10.1 brings some more speed and new features to the system, and restarted writting the review from scratch.

Good review. I enjoyed it. But I disagree that OS X offers "nothing new" This is the first OS to offer a stable, supported ability to run: 1. every adobe app. (Photoshop runs in classic) 2. every popular UNIX app. 3. most popular Microsoft apps. There are emulators one can run to offer these kinds of apps on other OS's, and I can even run Windows apps using an emulator on OS X. But I'm referring to "out-of-the" box ability. Linux on the desktop has been struggling because people think they want Internet Explorer and Office. Enter Mac OS X. Before I had to use a messy combination of LinuxPPC and Mac OS to do my development. Now, with OS X, I can code in BBEdit, compile using Sun's command line java tools, run the compiled code using Tomcat, and design icons for it using Photoshop, create a website to sell my new software using Macromedia Dreamweaver, and test it locally using Apache and PHP. One can sort of do this with Windows, using hacked versions of Apache and PHP and Tomcat, But OS X runs the real thing. This is something new, believe me. - miles
