Mac OS X 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.

why? its the only os out there that can actually run top class software from adobe, macromedia, etc, and also run unix/linux stuff (albeit with a recompile). if i ran pure linux, i'd have to dualboot to run windows apps (no win4lin and wine are not the best solution, just a way out of rebooting sometimes). if i ran pure windows, then no stability (and no win2k isn't that stable and winxp i've been able to crash several times now). what do i use now? winme and linux. i want to merge everything into one os. i see mac osx.1 as the solution. sure hardware is more expensive... but it's worth the money to never see another bsod, another app crashing the entire system, and have a good looking, stanard-thru-most-apps gui as well. i'm sure some of you would complain, linux has a nice gui. but then i'd have to use apps that use gtk and qt libs and that looks too weird (kde window with gtk buttons, and vice versa). can anyone lend me a few thousand dollars? i wanna buy sometime after christmas.
