| I have used 10.2 on an iMac G3/400, PowerBookG4/400 iBook G3/700 and have to say that I am really impressed. Surprisingly, it *appears* to me that the speed benefits are greatest in the G3s, but that may just be that I played less with them than the G4. The iBook really blew me away and I could hardly believe that it burned a full audio CD in just 4 minutes.
Jaguar may be overpriced for those people upgrading (I paid educational pricing), but it really is a huge improvement.
There are a few minor problems which need addressing (and there are major changes in Mail that take some getting used to, if you have already customised Mail very much), but it is definitely a great improvement - more polished and much faster.
I did experience some application crashes, but some of the affected programs have already been updated. Installing the Developer Tools did seem to cause more problems (notably Toast 5.14, but 5.13 still works).
All in all, well worth it and a definite speed benefit on the current iBook.  |
