the x 10.1 speed is now ok. I can bear it. But it is still slower than Windows 2k. And the finder still lag, but better than before. when you open the applications up to a certain number, the switch between them still get problem. In a word, just better; Should be better than just better.

Apple can choose any type of CPU. It can choose 68000 and now Gx. of couse it can choose Intel. Apple survive because its operating system, not CPU. Apple doesn't develop any CPU. Maybe in future, Apple choose IA CPU. IA 64 also can run OS X. Just theorically. How many types of CPUs in...

I don't know who is the winner. First, if we say that Apple will win, it is not true. Apple is wonderful in past. At that time, microsoft is just a tiny company. IBM can't defeat Apple. But what is the situation of Apple today? It is marcket share is smaller and smaller. Even though, it seems...

I have heard that the last version Apple will distribute is 9.5. After this version, we only can use OS X. Is it true? I still think that OS 9 has a lot of advanced features, which are missing in OS X. Although OS X gives us the stable, in future, maybe it gives us the speed, OS X is still not...

It is true that the network browser is not working very well. 9.2.1 is just s main bugs fixed, but brings us a lot of small bugs. But any way, in my G4-GIGABYTE, it is much better than 9.1

try boot from CDROM and install the upgrade. before installing it, use disk first aid to check your disk.

This update is in my expectation. I have said before that 9.2 is a lot of bugs. I have update it to OS 9.2.1 and keep watching OS X. The main bug fix is: The system doesn't comsume a lot of memory now. It is limited to 42 MB, not up to 50MB. Before update it, my system comsumes upt to...

No, it isn't. IE 5.1 under MacOSX can't run under classic, but it is not cocoa. It is clearly stated in M$ that it is carbon. All carbon compiler under ProjectBuilder can't run under classic.

I don't think so. Newer version should support up to OS 8.5. Otherwise, it is not a better upgrade version since its support is worse.

I am pleased that I heard the speed is increased. But this is Apple should do because the upgrade is not free. They are asking us to pay twice within 6 months. Apple seems to fully support both IE and JAVA. JAVA is always running very slow, even under IA-64, the next generation of Intel CPU. I...

Although I don't know what bugs they are, I have a lot of problems with Window Update. I think the window manager of OS 9.2 has problems, Contextual Manager has too. The update of 9.2 will available from Apple soon I think.

G4 is 32-bit processor. OS X is said to be 64-bit operating system. More details can be found in http://www.osdata.com

I have tried the beta version before. But don't try the release version yet. It seems that it have improve a lot things like application crash and mouse freezing. It is upgrade is better to buy a full version?

I just want to say wether it is fair to compare Mac OS X with Win2K. Of course, the things will change if Apple can combine the application running under classic is OS X. Mac must has its advantage, but I can't use Mac advantages to deadly beats Windows. I am not an anti-microsoft guy. I just...

I have read the battle of win2k vs. OS X in cnet.com and zdnet.com. Flanky, I think the compare is not fair although I am a Mac user. The scord can't be 1:1:1:1. The article just compare the features of each os and then decided which is the winner. This is not fair. Software support must be...

I think it is because the partition of UNIX is not recognized under OS 9. When I startup my computer with option key is pressed, it shows me 3 systems. Actually there are two only, OS X and OS 9.1. I don't know why. I just guess. If I am right, you had formated your harddisk as UNIX before.

I think it is because OS X kernel is UNIX. UNIX is running for 24x7x7. It is a server, not traditional destop OS like OS 9, windows. It is networking-oriented system. Networking-oriented system normally won't shutdown harddisk and CPU. I can't give more reason.

kilowatt, I think you haven't read the system overview carefully. I just read it before I say the kernel is carbon. No way to adjust whether it is carbon or cocoa because carbon can call cocoa API and cocoa can call carbon API. If you have an eye on other programme like IE, you will found I...

Other guys say that it is slow because of the finder and the kernel is carbon, not cocoa. It is not true. Others think that cocoa is running faster than carbon, but the test says that cocoa is just faster than java. How can it run faster than carbon? carbon is written in C. C is faster than...

Although OS 9 is not stable than OS X, but that is the programming technique. When I am using Adobe products, the system never crash, but when using realplay, IE and Netscape, every day, my computer have to restart more than 5 times. OS X is stable. Now I am familar with it. I get used to it...
