I like the fact that Apple is releasing upbeats on a regular basis; it shows they are listening to feedback/ You don't have to update your system when the updates are posted; you can install them at your lesiure, which is cool.
Mac OS X is a very a ambitious operating system and frequent tweaks are not unexpected. The original Mac OS was tweaked continiously for 17 years.
While I understand the fact that 90% of all PCs run Windblows, it still boggles me why these corporations put up with this crap with M$. AOl may be excluded from XP yet they continue to use IE as their browser.
Why don't they concentrate on platforms that are free of over bearing, cut throat monopolists, like Linux, MacOS or Be? I guess the $$$ clouds all judgement.
As a Darwin developer, I can say that Apple has contributed massive amounts of code back in Darwin. Apple has donated hardware and money to various BSD projects (particularly OpenBSD). Apple, unlike M$, is trying to be a good coperate citizen.
Why did this story get put in the Apple topic category? Sure the majority of users use LinuxPPC on Apple hardware but it also runs on RS/6000s and other PPC boxes. I think this shows ignorance on the part of Slashdot. This story belong in the "Linux" category!
