ArsTechnica Posts Mac OS X 10.2 Review

hype7 writes "ArsTechnica have posted their review on Mac OS X 10.2. John Siracusa has been writing the reviews of Mac OS X since way back with the developer previews, and in my experience they've been the most thorough, thoughtful and unbiased reviews of Mac OS X on the web. Well worth a read." He does do a fine job; so if you needed one last fix of looks at Jaguar, here you go.

    At least an *option* for sloppy focus / click to raise - click-to-focus-and-raise just sucks ass.

    An API for a real honest-to-god VWM. Space works for now. I guess.

    If Apple are serious about wooing *nix users they really need to fix at least some of these. Most of these are minor issues and should be easily fixed. It's beyond me why they haven't been fixed yet.

    (I didn't even bother to mention middle-mouse-button paste).

    Yeah... Yeah! And also:

    How about something called Your Documents on the desktop? I really want that.

    A buttom somewhere that pops out a menu where I can select applications, system preferences, etc.

    An app called Manage Applications or something, where I could add/remove programs centrally, instead of having to put them in the trash.

    'Trash' sounds so... harsh... They should rename it to 'Recycler' or something.

    If Apple are serious about wooing Windows users they really need to fix at least some of these. Most are minor issues and should be easily fixed. It's beyond me why they haven't been fixed yet.

    (I didn't even mention putting menus in application windows instead of always at the top of the screen.)

    Imagine that - as good as Jaguar is, imagine having something even better. Great, isn't it?

    Linux has a couple shortcomings, but because of open source, it is getting better FASTER! Just wait and you'll see Linux wipe Jagwyre off the map.
