If you like it, more power to ya. On G3 500 ibooks and G4 800 imacs, i have found that it seems to take forever to open things like systems preferences or a web browser. Does it take you long at all or does it seem instant?
As a tech support person in a school with 345 MLTI Ibooks, I can definatly vouch for the fact that OS X is slow. Everything I have ever done with it has been slow and clumsy, taking 10-15 seconds to open system preferences or view the contents of the harddrive. Even on our 2 new 4000$ xserves, OS X is slow and buggy, not to mention the fact that importing users is impossible.
My office is completly disgusted with OS X, we say it reminds us more of a MS product every day. We are getting ready to start deploying linux on our ppcs because OS 9 will no longer ship with new Macs in 2003, and we need a quick, stable OS.
