Mac OS X Almost a year after our much discussed Mac OS X 10.1 review, it is time to write down our impressions from the new version of OSX, Jaguar 10.2. Is Jaguar worth the full $129 USD? Dive in for more. Update: Slashdot seems to agree with our review, at least on the backwards compatibility issue.

XP install & hardware support
by Bill Gates on Mon 26th Aug 2002 10:15 UTC

Windows XP is already the most supported OS from a hardware perspective. XP dwarfs any Mac in terms of hardware support.
With the recent strides we've made in getting drivers ported, XP can work with virtually any hardware you have.

We spent countless hours working on the installer to make sure the upgrades from Windows 2000 were flawless. Even on VIA chipset motherboards, quite a feat. That took the engineers a long time.

OS X is a little bit ahead of us right now. But Microsoft has longer product cycles. You know, over 1 billion users that we have to make happy with each major release.

The next major release of Windows will put Mac back in its place -- in the Museum of Modern Art.
