Mac OS X Reaches First Birthday

Posted by pudge on from the and-i-forgot-a-present dept.

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.

    I've spoken to an Apple employee about this, and apparently the problem with file extentions is due to a Mexican standoff between the NeXT developers in apple (pro file extentions) and the Mac OS developers (anti file extentions).

    Unfortunately, it seems the NeXT guys are winning, while Mac OS X usability suffers as a result (file extentions are the one major thing that annoys me about Mac OS X).

    Other than this stupid design flaw, Mac OS X has been great for me ever since I installed Mac OS 10.1 on my iBook (Dual USB) last year.
