Ah, actually there are considerable differences between 10.2 and this release. And dont forget that what you see is a pre-release and not the real deal!
So, you really should get your facts straight before posting such gibberish!! I dont even think you even use OSX to post that you cant tell the difference between 10.2 and 10.3!!
Firstly, there is the addition to the ichat for video conferencing. Then you have this new 'expose' feature that allows you to temporarily see all windows open at once so you can click on any window to bring it to the front.
Then there's this colour label feature that exists in mac classic but osx doesnt have it. The finder window looks different as well...hmmm..get my point? And I dont even believe these are all the new features.
Thats not entirely true, it all depends on what iBook model you are running OSX on.
For example, the OLDER ibook models like those weird colourful ones or even the 500mhz models that came out several years ago, then yes....OSX runs like a snail. But the newer ibooks, the 600mhz/700mhz models that have a 100mhz bus and 16mb Radeon chipset, OSX runs like a dream, especially running Jaguar on the ibook where you now have HW accelerated desktop!
Well, several months ago I switched over from using Linux/Windows to OSX under an iBook. If it wasnt for OSX then there would've been no way the change would have happened. The best thing about OSX is that:-
1) You have a BSD backend...command line baby!!!!
2) Its very stable....very very stable!
3) its not windows......important part!
4) Has a totally cool desktop.
5) The iBook doesnt heat up as much as the Intel/AMD laptops and is efficient with battery power.
Sure, you have just one mouse button, but mostly I use an external wheel mouse or trackball anyway with 2 buttons.
And no, this isnt an ad for Apple, but after getting tired of XP crashing it was a good persuasion(typo?) to move to OSX.
Well actually thats not entirely true about OS X not being quite good enough for sole use on a Mac, in fact OS X is quite good and stable, more stable than OS 9x. Its because there are more titles for OS9 than OSX that OS9 co-exists with OSX. I mean to say, I dont think Apple would want to upset their customers by just shipping OS X with new macs and basically telling them "Sorry, you cannot run this app under OS X because it hasn't been ported yet".
Er, they are not page requests, but HITS to your pages showing everything that is loaded for that page. You REALLY should be looking at the page requests instead:-)

Actually the 7th and 8th graders got the iBooks, not the 6th Graders :)
