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.

"Nothing like a filesystem like XFS or BFS, not a good software manager like QNX's, or the advanced (and easy to use) networking features that WindowsXP brings."
<P>
How many home users really need a super advance filesytem? Journaling... why? Maybe in a server environment, but for Joe Blow... who cares. Furthermore, Apple HAD to use HFS+ to make it backward compatible with Classic. Without HFS Classic would have been a royal pain in the ass.
<P>
What is "advanced networking?" I don't know how much easier it gets that installing OSX and having it say, "would you like to use the network configuration I got from your DHCP server?" Do you mean connecting to other boxes, servers, what? Appletalk is about as easy as it gets.
<P>
Not to jump on the bandwagon, but you're review of OSX would be like my review of WindowsXP... I wouldn't have a clue how to write a constructive, well informed review of XP because I haven't used it and don't care to learn it.
