This won't happen in OS X, and probably not XP. This is a myth. Idle applications aren't allocated resources like they are under Mac OS 9... 100 idle applications are not going to bog you down the way they would under 9 - just a very small footprint.

Admiral: As with all the Mac OS X releases we've had, 10.1 is Apple's way of saying "here's what we've got done so far"... there is a lot of evidence that some of the features currently in it are not 100% complete. That doesn't mean they'll never be complete.

Zippygaloo: What makes you say that speed is everything? Just because when you click "ok" on a Photoshop filter and are able to complete that task in .5 seconds less does not make you more productive. The way you work and get things done is what makes you productive. I think Apple is...

Maybe the PC in which you were running Flash had a faster video card? Maybe browser plug-ins in general worked better on the browser you had on the PC? Flash came from Director if I'm not mistaken, and I believe Director was originally a Mac program. I don't buy your statements. If...

okay, I understand... I would just like to be able to type backwards.... I just would... okay?

Solrac: Why don't you stop and really think about what you are saying before you write? I mean that in a completely unflamatory way (although I guess it doesn't sound it.. better words escape me). There *are* improvements across the entire product line, and dual 800's *will* do things faster...

I'd still like to know what "straight from Apple" is supposed to mean.. =)

Stray: SMB is built into the "connect to server" component of the Mac OS X GUI (if that makes sense). Were you not aware of this?

Ulrik: think you could post that list in here?

Stray: The SMB client is present and has worked for me... I have heard reports saying that it hasn't worked well (or at all) for some people, but I just thought I'd point out in response to "where is smb support" that it *is* there. As far as your speed complaints, anything specific?

vic: where have you gotten this information?

Solrac: I honestly don't understand your point... would you want Apple to demonstrate on their slowest hardware? I just don't understand why you are upset.

re: checkbox for clicking on files in a dialog box? What would you call this option if you were Apple? re: resizing windows.. I don't understand. You want to be able to resize any window including dialog boxes?? re: FTP... you're right about Windows Explorer. I wasn't thinking of it as a...

Solrac: re: machine getting too hot... put it to sleep. Thousands of people around the world never shut off their desktops and laptops. re: whining about TextEdit not opening in 1 bounce... I'm sorry you don't feel productive waiting another second to get to TextEdit. You must have a lot...

Solarc: re: file dialog box: what if you're browsing through a directory and accidently replace a file you don't mean to? More abstractions are not good to new users.. just because you are used to this doesn't make it superior... re: two mouse button... most people don't need 2 mice...
