Is Jaguar worth the money?

[supermonkey]

for what 10.2 is, $130 was silly IMO. I appreciate Apple's work, but this was just an attempt to fill the coffers. When they actually come out with a significant improvement, I can only imagine how much more than $129 it will cost, since they've pretty much set the bar at this point.

All this discussion about Jaguar's value is moot...it is what it is in "the eye of the beholder". Time is better spent finding solutions to the problems with 10.2 and learning to fully utilize the new features in it.

This is just one point of view, and we all know what that is worth.

That said, I'm looking forward to the arrival of my copy, so I can see what it does for me. I work in 9 and play in X. When X becomes close to the equal of 9 for my needs, I will migrate, and not before.

Maybe if it was a bit more polished and clean, (less buggy), it might be worth it. That's a pretty big if though. I consider most of the things included in 10.2 as things that should have been included in the intial release of X, and I think this should have been at least 50% if not less than the advertised cost. Then again, we will get updates for it that will optimize the preformance and lessen the amount of bugs; but it's a matter of too much too late.

Sorry FrankH,

Had to move this thread from the MacOSX System and Software to the "Opinions" forum. It's a better fit here I think, since you're asking for an opinion rather then actually having a technical issue with the system software.
