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.

From a Mac geek...

10.0.x were for the true bleeding edge.

10.1.x were for most Mac users.

10.2 is for every Mac user.

A fairly computer illerate mac user asked me about a week ago if they should get Jaguar (10.2). I replied "With 10.2, there is no reason anyone with a machine that Apple says can run OS X is not running it."

Unless you are running a specialized application that does not run under Classic, there is no reason not to be running OS X if your machine supports it.

The speed, support, and stability are all there to make this a great operating system.

The fact that I was able to throw in an old video card, a spare 100Base-T card and a USB card into my G4 at once and have them all immediately recognized and supported is simply amazing. Apple has done wonderful work with this transition.

And I have a two-button scroll optical mouse natively supported, for everyone who might chime in with that.
