CNET editors' review
Apple Mac OS X 10.2 Jaguar price range: $48.79
- Reviewed by: John Rizzo
- Reviewed on: 08/21/2002
The good: Greatly improves Mac, Windows, and Internet networking; refines Web and hard drive search tool; upgrades performance and responsiveness; includes Bluetooth support; new discount for five-user licenses.
The bad: No upgrade pricing for copies of OS X purchased before July 17; bundled iChat 1.0 isn't as versatile as AIM; still no Google search in Sherlock.
The bottom line: Take a good, hard look at Mac OS X 10.2 if you're adding a Mac to a Windows network--Jaguar's new tools can't be beat. But home users, beware the $129 upgrade price if you're not looking for networking options.

Stable and intuitve
Pros:
Cons:
Summary: OS X hides the complexities of having to know to operate an operating system. It provides a stable platform for a broad and feature rich set of applications.

Summary: I'm running OSX 10.2.6, and it's a pleasure. OSX is not as effortless as OS 8 and 9 was/is, but to sit in front of the monitor and interact with the OS is a real pleasure. I bought a new Windows XP machine about 2 months ago so that I could run a particular flight sim, but XP is an uninspiring Ms. Hathaway to the Mac OSX Ellie May! I've turned the Windows machine on a total of 6 times in two months; I use the Mac for hours daily.

Summary: I'm a designer who was really looking forward to moving to OS X, but yike what a mess. It's kind of like a uber-geek in an Chanel dress: looks awesome, but as soon as it opens its mouth it's obviously a geek. Getting printers and fonts set up and all that other stuff is so techie now -- very Windows/UNIX like. And the little things get on your nerves: the dock is pretty, but it mixes open apps with your closed ones, making it tougher than the old dropdown to see what's open. Would it kill them to list them int he Finder menu? Lord knows it doesn't seem to actually find anything now -- unless I'm looking for a "Bluetooth device". Uh-huh. I find I'm working a lot slower, at least for now. It makes me feel like a real curmudgeon using it, and I mourn the simple elegance of OS 9. I can certainly see why Apple is giving away so much free software with it: you really need an incentive to deal with the networking and printers and fonts and everything else. It's like they threw 20 years of interface lessons out the window. Or out to Windows. That said, it is rock solid and I sure don't miss restarting all the time the way I used to have to. Anyway, I wouldn't recommend it to anyone who doesn't like spending their spare time configuring and optimizing their computer. It's not yet the OS for the rest of us.

Summary: I heard that Apple payed Microsoft a lot of money to make OS X for them. I can't help but notice that X is a lot like Windows. Its pretty but it doesn't have the old mac charm that OS 9, 8, & 7 had. I got a new iBook a couple months ago and tried X out and i thought it was OK but shortly after I made it boot to 9.2. I hope that Apple doesn't totally abolish 9. If it does, Im going back to a typewriter.

*gasp* computers can do that?
Pros: quite simply, experience the future, now. There are now 2 levels of computers - those running os x & everything else. Whats the point in running anything else?
Cons: my only qualm is that you can't "pick-up" file names in save dialogues... but i can live with that.

Summary: I've been using PC's for a long time. So, I decided to buy a macintosh for a change. And it is great. It's much easier to use comparing to PC's. And the speed of it is surprisingly fast, . Before, I used to have all this error's and things on my PC. And the softwares are all mixed up. And the OS X, is just so neat, so good, and surprisingly easy to use. Changing from PC's to mac I don't think is a hard thing!

- 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.
