Other!
I'm running Longhorn for Mac. Due out in 2010.
Little perspective please!
And where's the Windows <spit> choice? Wouldn't it be true to say that on the same scale the Window's option bar would probably stretch right around the equator?
Little perspective please!
The question was about which version of OS X people were running. Unsure what you're ranting about or why. We noticed you. Feel better? :)
So which bit of it was too confusing for you?
So which bit of it was too confusing for you? The question relates to MacOS-X, but if you run on another system you're able to answer 'I don't own a mac yet'.

OSX vs. OS9
What amazes me is that Apple mentioned that only 40% of mac users have gone up to OSX.... i know a couple of macs still running OS9.2 which are crying out to be upgraded. I find them a pain to use, but the owner just "doesnt have time" to upgrade. What are they all waiting for? OS11??!!
OSX vs. OS9
I'm a kind of mac hotline for all my friends using macs.
OSX vs. OS9
Of course, this poll is going to be heavily skewed in OS X's favor, since it's called macosxhints.com, not macoshints.com. Secondly, a good majority of visitors here are somewhat to very geeky, meaning they have to have the latest upgrade or they'll die.
Older Mac
Some of us can't afford a nice new speedy G5, I'm still running 10.1.5 on a 350MHz G3 Blueberry. The Gig of ram and speedy new 60GB HD help, but I don't know that I could run 10.2 or 10.3 on this iMac. I'll upgrade my OS when I upgrade my hardware (and at current Mac prices, that could be another year).
Older Mac
Actually, for having upgraded an old Lime 2nd gen iMac (was it a 266MHz inside? can't remember) with 6gig of Hd and 196meg of RAM from 10.1 to 10.2 then to 10.3, I can assure you that 10.3 IS the best OS of the all three. So go ahead, jump in, and you'll see it gets snappier and feels better (and with RAM and HD you have, you'd be feeling very good).
Older Mac
I'm typing this on a G4/400 with 512 MB RAM running OS X 10.3.2. It runs fine, even if it's not the fastest Mac in the sea.
My G4/466 with 1 GB runs 10.3.2 even better! So you don't need a new G5 to run Panther. And for all your Jaguar users on older hardware... the upgrade to Panther is well worth it, as it runs faster on older hardware. .
Tells you something...
Boy, gives you a pretty dramatic idea of what the power users (or at least the ones who like to get the most out of their Macs, and so come here) are using.
Tells you something...
Completely non-scientific, of course, but I find it interesting that more people claim to be on 10.0.x than on 10.1!
Tells you something...
accuse me of ballot stuffing if you like. but, i answered 10.3 for my home machine, and os9 for my work machine.
Hibernation?
What's with the OSX Beta tally? Either it's a joke or a few people love playing with their system clock settings.
Hibernation?
Ah yes, but remember that Redmond's mantra is "Reboot early, reboot often." I power cycle every bloody chance I get -- prevents bsods.
Hibernation?
Sort of the digital equivilent of flossing. Reboot to get rid of that unsightly Windows plaque build-up or your hard drive will eventually get gingavitas.
Hibernation?
Why not sleep the unit and come back on Monday morning to a machine that's not only right where you left off, but just as zippy as it was when you left work previously.
Hibernation?
I put both my G4 at home and the Dell at work to sleep during the week but I personally don't like leaving a system at work powered with no one there during the weekend - especially a Windows system. Hibernation is pretty much like "sleep mode" except that Hibernation will turn the power off until the next time the system is booted bringing everything back to the state it was at prior to hibernation or as if it had been woken from sleep.
10.3.3 beta
Im running the beta of 10.3.3. that should be an option. :)
10.3.3 beta
10.4 isn't being seeded at this point… |
