I love OSX, but on my 450MHz G4, it is quite annoying to use in comparison to OS9. I don't think older Mac users want to bash the OS, but want more of a reason to stay away from the DarkSide. OS9 felt very snappy to use, while X does not, at least on older hardware. Rendering and what not may be the same if not better (AfterFX : FCP3); most time on a system is spent navigating it! I also agree that OSX is MUCH more stable, but so was OS/2. Don't see a Warp Switch campaign! I hope not to bash, but let Apple know what we want... I never remember any complaints about OS9 being almost unusable coming from OS8.5. I agree that a lot of switchers are too quick to call foul, but keep in mind that they are seeing Macintosh with new eyes. I think that they should not be ignored. I for one have had my Mac blinders on for quite some time. For the record... M$ is the enemy! Not alternative OS's:-)
