(+) Superb screen, superior speakers, huge capacity, multiplicity of functions, brilliant photo suite (-) A new 'language' to learn and company support not as good as one would expect.
(+) Faster, good networking with other Windows machine, so far it has not crashed. (-) price, best to do a fresh install which will involve backup & restore of information
Advantages: Very similar to Windows XP Disadvantages: Very different from Mac OS 9
purchasing this. When I installed this onto my Mac I had only one software compatibility problem and that was with a very old archiving program I had been using - other than that it was all ok. I have resolved my compatibility problem by not spending out money on a new archiving program but by creating 2 start-up discs on the one computer - there for on the Mac at the moment I have OSX and OS 9 installed but on different discs so as to not interfer with each other. This is very easy to set up but it does mean that if you are working in OSX and you then need to access your archive files you do then need to go to your startup disc, select OS 9 and restart your computer and then do the same to get back to OSX once you have done this.
Also on OSX it is much more user friendly. It lets you organise your files like digital images, e-books etc. in ...
Advantages: New OS 10.2 much faster, more stable, more features Disadvantages: Paying for the upgrade when I had paid for the preview and then the upgrade to 10.1
At last it is here. I saw it demonstrated at MacWorld NY in July, and it is everything they said it would be. Installation was a breeze - you have multiple options for installation under options including a clean install with archiving of all your passwords and settings! This is a really great feature, which means you don't have to merge system folders, as you did in the past. No writing down of all those settings and finding that you forgot one of the most important.
I have now installed 10.2 on 3 Macs - G4 TiPB, iBook (2001) and an iMacDV (1999). They all run much faster - noticably so on the older G3 machines.
With the G4, here comes an even bigger step - that of Quartz EXTREME graphics, using the power of the G4 chip. If you though OSX was beautiful before, now is just awesome.
There are now virtually none of my legacy ...
Advantages: Faster and better. New features for both home and pro users. Disadvantages: Hardware-hog, pricey upgrade from Panther.
to this rule. Quartz means that instead of the CPU being burdened with rendering on-screen 2D graphics, the OS loads all the processing onto the graphics card. Of course, for the card to cope with this demand it must be modern, equipped with supporting instructions onboard and have at least 16Mb of VRAM. That, my folks, rules out the old iMacs and means an extra load on the poor old G3 processor which has to compensate for the incompatible graphics card. If you are happy to settle for half, Tiger is a good upgrade for your ageing machine, but if not, stay with earlier versions of OSX. Also worth mentioning is that Tiger has become even more of a memory hog over Panther and will utilise between 2-10Gb of Hard Drive space for Virtual Memory as well as a good 512Mb (preferably 1Gb) of real memory, so it is really important that enough free ...

Manufacturer's product description
Referred to by its code name, Jaguar, Mac OS X v10.2 is a different breed of operating system. Jaguar combines the rock-solid reliability of UNIX with the ease of use of Macintosh. This version of Mac OS X is as innovative as the computers that run it. And whether you're a Mac user who's upgrading, a Windows user who's looking at switching to the Mac or a UNIX user who loves the idea of using key applications like Microsoft Office on top of a state-of-the art BSD UNIX implementation, this is the OS for you. Mac OS X v10.2 is loaded with over 150 compelling new features - like an instant messaging client that's compatible with AOL, an enhanced Mail application that lets you filter out junk mail, an address book that's an activity center for all your contacts, and a full-featured search engine so useful that you'll soon feel lost without it. Mac OS X v10.2 also features QuickTime 6, the next-generation multimedia standard with support for MPEG-4 video. Quartz Extreme, the hardware accelerated, fully composited graphics system, gives it souped up 2D and 3D capabilities. Plus, it features a significantly enhanced Finder with spring-loaded folders. Rendezvous, a revolutionary technology that lets you create an instant network of computers and peripheral devices. Not to mention a host of features and capabilities that will impress hardcore UNIX users.
