Mac OS X Reaches First Birthday

hotsauce writes "Mac OS X is one year old, and the Washington Post has a good summary. What do people think now that we're at the promised '12 o'clock'? What's in the year ahead?" I dunno what's in the year ahead, but as for today, I got a new TiBook and had a kernel panic while watching the This Is Spinal Tap Special Edition DVD.

The year ahead.

What's in the year ahead?

Twelve more months of Taco bitching about the single mouse button.

Oh, and hopefully some rackmountable Apple gear so I can run a server with a little style. I've been hearing rumors from inside the Compound itself...

Yeah, I can't believe those criminals at Apple are NOT raising prices! What gougers!

What did you expect? This is Mac OS Ten, it doesn't go to eleven yet ;-)

Re:Stability

[raju1kabir]

I was hoping that one year on they would have sorted out the stability issues. I have used many Unices in my life: Irix, SunOS, NeXT, Linux, *BSD but MacOS X is probably the least reliable (apart from Irix on the O2 in its later years). To still be in this position after a year is a little shameful. I have certainly had major problems while watching DVDs (major DVD slowdowns and loss of audio, failure to detect a DVD, inability to play some DVDs and inability to eject DVDs

Oh? You've had better luck playing DVDs on Irix, SunOS, and NeXT?
