Most of the features I used was Front Row and Sherlock.
Front Row 1 in osx does much more then Front Row 2 in Leopard, such as resume movies (important!), keep on playing iTunes songs when you exit front row, and most important, Front Row 1 had a big font where you can actually see everything from 10 feet away. The look and feel of front row 1 is much smoother too. It feels like front row 2 is a huge step backwards for apple and I don't like it! WTF APPLE!!!???
Also Where is Sherlock?????!!!
I think there will be more switching to Linux and MacOSX when vista comes out. $200-$500 for Vista is just too hefty for me. Also Install Windows XP, Lasted 2 weeks and crashed from viruses (Mcafee Installed 10!). I am sick of Microsoft, Last Month, I switched my P4 1.8 Ghz to Centos Linux, Runs Great, also upgraded OpenOffice to 2.0 and with OpenOffice Base (Like MS-Access) There is hardely a learning Curve.
Centos easy to install and its easy to operate and runs fast and stable! (Centos is Redhar Enterprise Linux 4 but FREE)
I am not new to linux, tho, but it came a long way and I think Next year (2007-ON) Will be great Linux and MacOSX years.
I have a Redhat 7 server that runs constantly and NO VIRUSES or SPYWARE AT ALL IN 6 YEARS AND GOING!
People believe what they are told, even if its not as sharp, but if someone says that its then it must be sharp, kind of like politics..
Money is made on stupidity of the people and every smart business man knows this..
Why not sell osx for all PC's, I highly recommend OSX against viruses and spyware, I just wish they would release it for all PC's not just theirs.. Have companies make drivers, and roll it out. I would definitly switch.. I mean, OSX runs pretty fast on my friends 1.5Ghz Toshiba notebook.. 10 second bootup time is great! Much faster and nicer then Windows..
Apple would be stupid to drop OSX, unless it becomes free and open for all.
You mouselook and aim with a mouse on a pc... whats the difference? I think the Revolution will be a big hit with adult gamers like me, I love 1st person shooters on PC too but n ot on consoles, that is I think untill the revolution comes out..
I cant wait!
I have Animal Crossing, and ya, its a never ending game, but how much Animal Crossing can one play ??
Can't wait for New Super Mario Brothers and the Nintendo DS Lite!
If people really want this OS on any PC, why not just make it for any PC and charge for it, Either way, people are going to get it and run it paying apple or not. Apple should take advantage of this and release an unprotected copy to purchase once it adds more device support.
Anyway, it seems to boot and run faster on a PC then a Mac.
I guess it will be another way for kids to look at porn at free MC Donalds/Nintendo hotspots as for me, I already have a treo 650 where I can accesss the internet from anywhere at anytime with a nice keyboard and high res screen.

I thought that when you move an encrypted file in to a FAT file system, it becomes decrypted ..because FAT doesn't support encryption. is that true?
