Ars Technica Posts Panther Review

Posted by pudge on from the it-both-sucks-and-blows dept.

Nexum writes "Today Ars released their latest Mac OS X review, this time for Max OS X 10.3 Panther. It's great to see another tour de force from the Ars guys. They have, as usual, an excellent insight into the new OS release, and they also cover that burning question 'is it worth $129?,' and Panther seems to come out rather well. Certainly worth a read."

    Or maybe he could just submit the ideas to Apple, they do listen, unlike many large companies.

    I read the first half of that article earlier. Now, thanks to Slashdot, server load means I can't read the second half! Hurrah! It wouldn't be so annoying but the page I'm stuck trying to load is called "Performance Anxiety"...

      Thanks again, slashdot! Between be clicking the "reply" button and actually getting that reply written and posted, three other people said the same thing, and ended up right above me. Now I'm probably going to be -1 Redundant too! Hurrah!

    Hold a second: I didn't think the native OSX interface was X-Windows. I may be wrong, but I always noted that my friend's iBook had the X server as a seperate application on the dock and all.

    Anyone know for sure?

    Half his ideas are not original, they were there in MacOS 9 etc, but were not done properly in OS X, that's his point.

    Apple doesn't need to hire him, they just need to wake up and listen to him--they already have the people there to do it.
