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.

That's an old debate: brushed metal vs. normal Aqua look. The Apple guidelines say that the brushed metal look should be used for programs that use or resemble digital devices (iTunes, iDVD, etc) or, and here is the big inconsistency in my opinion, applications that share data with those digital devices. That's why the address book is in brushed metal. It shares data with some other appliances of the "digital hub" age.
Honestly I think that Apple uses it just because it "looks cool.". I hate that they have those two very distinct looks. It just doesn't feel right. It works for a few, small applications, but it shouldn't be used for something like iMovie.
