Ars Technica OS X 10.1 Review

Posted by timothy on from the letters-with-numbers dept.

Joystickit writes: "John Siracusa over at Arstechnica has posted his review of OS X 10.1. He comes to the conclusion that 10.1 is much improved but still leaves much to be desired. It is an excellent read. He always seems to have the most in-depth reviews. Check it out." John's earlier OS X reviews are excellent as well; seeing what Apple does right and wrong is informative reading no matter what OS you prefer.

    Your one assed mouse is obviously inferior! Thanks to advances in genetic engineering, I own a 4-assed mouse. Four mouse button-cracks provide much greater functionality!

    OS XI if we're keeping with the theme
    Just installed MySQL III.XXIII.XLIII (with MyODBC II.L.XXXIX-preIV) on it. Cool!

    There has been a freeware utility, ApplWindows, available for 8 years that allows your application menu to show all the individual windows associated with an application. It is a system mod that works on OS 7 through 9.1 at least. See this link for info. Under OS X, rather than searching through a pile of taskbar buttons called "http://www...", I right click on the Explorer icon in the dock and pick the window I want by it's full name. It works very much like ApplWindows works. The windows are logically tied to the application they belong to, and one click/drag combination gets me instantly to any window I want.

    New Mac keyboards do have an "Eject" key.

    Sweet! Do they also have a "Connect to AOL" key?
