OS X 10.1 Coming Today (Sorta)
usa35.com writes "News.com has a story detailing the release of Apple's 10.1 update. They say "unveiled" today, probably meaning actually disseminated to us general public folks sometime in the coming days." This is of course the release that regular users can actually use. Supposedly this is a free upgrade. Speed improvements, UI fixes, DVD stuffs. I can't wait to test it out a little. And those new iBooks are pretty reasonably priced (I figure that they can sell them cheap by cutting corners like most of the mouse buttons ;)
Shouldn't it be OS X.1???
:^)
Sounds weird to me to here OS X 10.1.
Reminds me of ATM machines and FAT testing.
OS 10.1 perhaps OS X.I suits it better. "OS X 10.1" seems redundant.
