Software Reviews of Mac OS X 10.1 [OLD VERSION]
Customer Review: Mac os 10.1 as advertised
Summary: 5 Stars
I purchased a used Power Mac with software loaded but no disk. I purchased this software to act as a back-up in the event something hapenned. It is what was shipped by my Mac originally. It was as advertised and was what I expected.Customer Review: Watch out for USB driver problems and kernel panics
Summary: 2 Stars
Six months into using OS -X started having Kernel panics (Apple's blue secreen of death). Not running non-Apple programs, multi-tasking, or running peculiar non-standard hardware (Logitech tracball, HP printer/scanner). 5 trips to the repair shop - new hard drive, new RAM, new system board, upgrade to 10.2.8; 4 phone calls to Apple "Support." Kernel panics returned. Lots of web searches - found lots of boards where people have the same experience, and found the only permanent solution was downgrading to OS9 or upgrading to OS 10.3. "Support" denies it's poor USB software.Customer Review: OS X best ever
Summary: 5 Stars
Hands down the best OS right now! This update is crucial before you upgrade to Jaguar. It's simple, doesn't crash, easy to use even supports right clicking!buy it and never be disappointed!
Customer Review: Stable but Often Slow
Summary: 4 Stars
Mac OS 10.1, the long-awaited gift from Apple, is impressively stable. The stability of this OS gives it an edge over the older build of Mac OS 9 (and older systems). Dynamic memory allocation and preemptive multitasking are positive aspects too.However, I would not suggest OS X on a G3 unless you are ready for slow resizing and tediously long launch times.
Indeed, even though it is slower, I feel that I am obliged to use OS X on my 600 MHz iBook - not because Apple is phasing out "classic" support. The only thing that truly binds me to OS X is that it is much more stable than OS 9. However, seeing how good things are coming with the new ideas from Apple as they update the system, I would suggest keeping an eye open. Perhaps OS X will speed up soon.
Customer Review: good... needs improvement in speed
Summary: 3 Stars
It's definitely an improvement on MacOS 10.0, which was really a beta. I have been using it for 6 months, and have been overall impressed with its stability. Speed and usability are two areas that need improvement. Go for 10.2 Jaguar...
