Mac OS X Garners
Positive Press - A Reader Index
Apple's new Mac OS X operating system is garnering favorable
press.
Perhaps you are wondering which way the popular press is going
to drift with the introduction of Mac OS X. We sure did...and wanted
to categorize it for you. And in the process we've discovered that
most have said some nice things about OS X, even coming out of MS
Windows-oriented camps.
The
good news is, OS X is as stable as Apple promised: In four days
of intensive testing, IÕve yet to have the system crash, even
as individual programs have self-destructed numerous times. --

As can be seen in some of the titles alone, most publications
are quite critical of the new OS. Even more are critical of Apple's
plan to deliver it early without CD-RW burning support or iDVD support.
Still, the comments are generally fair and positive.
What's really important is that Apple has met its original obligations
with the new OS (such as its crash-proofness, stability). If those
were not met the press would be all over Apple like a pack of wolves
on a fat hen.
