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.

Well I will keep this short and sweet... I own an old Mac SE-30 with System 7 and of course I am running Mac OS 9/X on my iMac now, the one thing that most OSes have been a victim of is when you add more to them the more buggy they get and I don't care what is under the hood DOS and/or UNIX! The one thing that made me feel secure when crashes occurred was that I pretty much knew the Mac OS was going to boot up without a glitch, but as for Windows I got to the point where I was praying that Windows would reboot without error... that is pretty scary if you ask me. But either way, nothing runs better than your industrial strength OSes like Sun's Solaris and/or any flavor VMS in which when companies need something reliable... the latter 2 are probably at the helm guarranteed!!!
