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.

I don't get mad at reviews as long as they are within the reach of reality, but Eugenia's review was something that I would have saw on your average Oprah Winfrey show... pretty much one sided and bashing the other side, that is not a review... that is bashing!!! I have the upmost respect for Eugenia, I am also a BeOS user and have followed her columns and reviews from BeNews in the past, so I was not surprised of her latest review of Mac OS... she is biased when it comes to the Mac side of things. I am a refugee from the Windows world that escaped to the Mac world, so I know what goes on on both planets and I am satisfied where I am now, but I don't expect everyone else to have the same feelings!!!
