urp, through your logic, you would never buy anything. almost everything these days has "already existed." just because something has already made an appearance doesn't invalidate its abilities and usefulness. you act as though anything that isn't completely new is an unneccesary "upgrade." it is NOT the end of the world if you use technology that's already been implemented. upgrades happen. revisions happen. things have to improve, and improve is what X does best. it takes good things from OS 9 and puts in some new things (oh my god! new!) and puts them into a revised and improved interface. the ease and stability of OS X is far better than ANYTHING that ANYONE else in the market has to offer. if you want to live in the stone age with 8.6 or 9 or whatever, thats your choice, but i don't see any reason that just because X uses technology from earlier operating systems AND updates/improves it, it is a poor system altogether. if you think windows is better than OS X, fine, you go ahead and think that, but windows has nothing that OS X doesn't. and what, do you think in a year and a half longhorn will have anything new and fabulous to offer so you can upgrade and be content? yeah right. you can just keep telling yourself that at night to make you feel better.
