Mac OS X "Leopard started out with a generous share of first-version glitches, but almost all of them have now been resolved by the second of two automated updates, which brings Leopard up to version 10.5.2. Finally, Leopard is extravagantly overdressed for the jobs that it's designed to do, and its pervasive eye-candy starts out looking dazzling but soon becomes distracting. Fortunately, from the beginning, the OS started out with options that let you put it on a low-eye-sugar diet, and the latest update has even more."

"I concur with the statement that OSX is the perfect OS for the majority of users. I also buy that it's trumped by the fact that it's only licensed to run on Apple hardware (albeit, we all know its possible to run it on non-Apple hardware). "

You make some very good points. I do a lot of Audio/Video work and simply put OS X is the best OS presently out there for this, unless you happen to have a few hundred thousand dollars to spend. As for the average computer user, they mainly do email, finances, and web browsing. All of which is pretty much seamless in OS X.

I agree, it would be nice if Apple would release OS X for any Intel based system. But, I think they should do so with the caveat that if you run it on non Apple HW do not expect support from them. I think they would more than make up for any lost HW sales from sales of the OS itself.

Anyway, just my 2 cents worth.
