MAC user Here
Running OS 9.2( begrudgingly)
and the Powerful OS 10.1.3
looking forward to the day when OS 9 is gone forever!!
ALL Mac OS's before OSX basically consisted of a small set of system resources
that are deployed in a " winner take all" fashion to competing MAC based applications that ,in and of themselves, have to have independeant self contained
mini-operating systems written in to them to run on the mac.
and then have these applications fight to the death( Crash) over those sytem resources. and if any one of the open applications has a bad day it destabilzes
or freezes the entire sytem requiring a complete reboot
That is why application development for the mac has always been a more labor intensive and expensive proposition for smaller developers who do not have the Assets of Adobe or Macromedia
But with the unix based nature of OSX we can now look forward to an influx
of unix Geeks developing for "Darwin" the unix variant that drives OSX.
even now konan the creator of 'Natural Pose" the poser animation importer for Bryce is busy working on an OS X version of his program.
and we mac OS X users can finally enjoy an abilty that Windows NT users have had for years: protected memory and true preemptive multi-tasking.
as i write this Lightwave 3D 7 for OSX is busy rendering a volumetric hypervoxels thundercloud animation it s own protected memory space.
the MACINTOSH has finally grown up and im very Happy!!.
