Customer Review: The finally friendly OS
Summary: 5 Stars
Just for the record: you don't need a degree in computer science using this finally human friendly OSCustomer Review: What a mess
Summary: 1 Stars
Defective CD caused my fiance to lose contents of his hard drive with no hope of recovery. Apple Tech support suggested a re-install of prior OS X version. We knew to back up the contents, however, so many friends had no trouble, he didn't bother. What a mess! Apple has offered to replace CD, however, they won't mail to APO address...which is why we ordered from amazon to begin with. BACK UP YOUR FILES prior to an install! Where is quality control? I gave it one star because the system won't allow 0 stars.Customer Review: i had to

i purchased reason 4 a music program for my g4. in order to run the program i had to upgrade. the features are ok but ever since i upgraded my computer will force me to shut down if i leave for about 5minutes with out moving the mouse or pressing a key. if i didnt have to upgrade to use new programs i wouldnt. not a complete waste of money but if you dont have to upgrade, wait for them to fix the errors first.Customer Review: Functionality of an IPOD.

OS X is a twin of tiger with a new black apple in place of the mighty blue apple in the upper left corner of the screen. Tiger w. coverflow is what you get and yes it still has the same level of functionality as an IPOD touch/classic. mac's/OSX Still can't run games, or even 1/3 of what Vista can, but hey it is capatable with anything from the over priced Apple store, same goes for applications and programs. Get a PC w. windows so much easier and you can rest easy knowing that you can use anything you want program wise, hardware wise or otherwise with ease and wont have to fight with your mac or download watered down mac ports of great windows programs to try and get by. Appleheads stop making excuses for Apple's over priced short commings and use what you want when you want. There is no excuse for using a broken, garbled, limited OS like OSX. OS X has been the same since it was released for god's sake with a different color Apple....wow.
VISTA/Windows7/XP > OSX
Customer Review: First time user
Summary: 4 Stars
I switched to Mac in December and got the OS X 10.5 with the computer. It runs smoothly and without a hitch, which is very commendable.
I was not accustomed to the different tools, and therefore have left some of them unused to this day. I don't for example use the mail feature, the iChat, or the iCal. Furthermore there are some applications, that I don't think fantastic, for example Safari, which I did use for a short while but found to be utterly inferior to Mozillas browser (it will for example not open hotmail).
There are far too many things in the OS X that you don't need, yet are still there and set up as standards, which is a bit irritating. It takes forever to find out where these files are hidden and change/delete them. It is a lot harder, in my opinion at least, to tailor your computer to your needs with OS X than with Windows, change settings and preferences and so on.
However, there are redeeming factors. The preview function, that lets you look at most files without running the application that you'd normally use to open them in, is priceless. That really comes in handy a lot. The time machine function, that makes a backup of your harddisk, is also very handy, and takes a load of your mind. I have loads of photos and text that I'd rather not loose because of system failure, and I'm sure that goes for most people.
The 'search' set up makes it fairly easy to locate a file you yourself have created, but is otherwise very limited seeing that it doesn't search all folders. I personally had a hell of a time trying to re-install some Adobe software because I couldn't locate a file that turned out to be in the "library" folder using the search function.
In conclusion I'll say that I don't think this is a superior operating system, but it is definitely not inferior either. I would like more personal control over things, but I do get how it is nice that you can (if you choose to) just sit back and let Apple handle everything for you. I wouldn't switch to Mac just to get to use OS X, but I wouldn't run Windows on my Mac either.
