    I have been using Mac OS since 7.0 came out in the early 90's. The latest vesion of the Mac OS just seems to get in the way. It reminds me of a waiter at a restaurant who is always pestering you instead of serving you. Like waiters, the best OS is the one that serves you without being noticed and lets you get your work done. Frankly, all I want is an operating system that will run my apps and not crash. Apple has overdone it with OS X. It is pretty but it's always in your face. This wouldn't be so bad since you could always chose to load 9.2 or 10 whith a new computer. I was informed yesterday that all 2003 Macs are shipped with a chip on the motherboard that PREVENTS you from loading 9.2. I find it unbelievable that they would intentionally sabotage their own products to force you to use their new OS. If it is so great, why would they resort to these tactics? As I said, I have been a big fan of the Mac for over 10 years but now I'm seriously considering switching to PCs.

    An operating system is supposed to stay in the background, to help you use applications. When the OS tries to be the star, getting more and more bloated so that you need to buy bigger, and more expensive hardware, then it is a failure but also a way to hustle you.

    I have two computers at home running Windows 98 and Windows XP. I just bought a Mac with this latest OS for my kids and wife. Summary: This new OS is for Mac users who naively believe the new Apple "Switch Adds" and who have been trained to think that they have found computing 'Holy Grail' and who believe that Macs never crash and who believe that that Mac are Roll Royces and who believe that form is more important than function and who believe that whining and complaining is a productive part of computing, etc, etc, etc..... as per Mac owners. Now, for the truth: the new operating system is already a window and will continue to be so until Apple drops its arrogance and start working with peripheral manufacturers and software developers for better support of their ware. YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED!

    DISCLAIMER: I have never used Jaguar. But here is my persepctive. 1. Loyal mac users are sent to the gutter to buy a simple upgrade. $129 upgrade or not. RIP OFFF 2. the upgrade offers networkability, a few iapps, and compatibility. My thought is their playing catch up. Windows XP had a chat service, networkability, and more on the first release. And Windows Update doesnt cost anything and we get updates to all the default software loaded in XP. 3. Cool little things make Mac OS X Jaguar worth $30 not $129. RIP OFF stay with what you have or go to Windows XP.

    Upgrades like this to network with Windows machines wouldn't even be neccessary if macs would just accept their fate as being obsolete. Just get rid of them now and forget about software like this, and get a superior PC, with Linux if you want stability.

    I've given up on Mac... Jaguar has been released and it's still too slow. Apple's hardware is still way behind as well. After using Apple products for twenty years, I'm fed up. Goodbye, Apple, it's been nice knowing ya.

    and slap a guarantee on it. I've got extra time. At the end of the day though, all that you've really bought is a guaranteed piece of s_h*it . So if you really want quality, go with Windows XP and an AMD processor.

    Wake up, it was over for Apple a long time ago. Some of you have just been a little slow in figuring it out. They might have a chance if they port it to intel hardware.

    I can't believe Mac charges for a minor upgrade. I guess when you decide to over pay for a Mac in the first place, throwing away money is just part of the appeal.
