I’ve recently upgraded from Jaguar to Panther. If you have no idea what I just said, then you need to get hip.
So far I’m very happy with the change. The tweaks to the UI are all improvements as far as I’m concerned. After I rebooted once or twice, the new version does indeed run faster and better than its predecessor. And the new version of the Finder is, I find, somewhat more intuitively laid out than the one that came before.
(Retooling the Finder after the fashion of the iTunes interface is an interesting move, btw. Especially in light of how a version of iTunes has been made available for Windows users. Just another piece of switch-bait, I guess…)
In other news, I really am planning on fixing up this site a bit. Expect slightly-better-than-mediocre things in the near future!
