OS News' review of Mac OS X last week certainly stirred up controversy, partially because some die hard Mac fans perceived that it was improper for an outsider (someone who is not an everyday Mac user) to me making broad criticisms after only a superficial introduction to the New operating system. Well, folks, that's why they call it a review. We thought that Apple's major new OS also deserved a road test, and there were two very important events in Mac OS X history just a few days ago that toppled the last major obstacle to making it ready for millions of Mac users to start using it as their everyday OS: the 10.1 release and the release of Microsoft Office X.

Man I hear all of you say that mac hardware is more expensive, well you get what you pay for and even those in the pc world know that. When you buy a cheap motherboard for a pc you get crap. I have a 1ghz Athlon and a powerbook G4 500mhz. You know which one I like better, the powerbook. I have Windows Xp loaded and Mac Os X 10.1 and I get tired of looking at XP. I can desing Java on both platforms but it runs better on Mac OS X. I can play games on both platforms, but I always have to worry about on the pc for drivers or direct x issues. Sure Windows XP can run anything in a compatabilitiy mode, but what in the hell do you think Classic is for OS X? The interface is so much better on OS X, I have been a Mac and PC user since 1988 and still have my 512k Mac around, none of my older pc are around though. I have been following OS X since I first hear of Raphsody. I am a Unix, Linux, and QNX user and say that Os X is the best thing to come to the computing world. I can use unix apps with Mac apps and also if I want install a version of X86 so you can run X windows environments...
