I have been since Mac OS X 10.1 came out. I installed it and haven't even booted back into Mac OS 9.2.1. Classic works fine for me too.



What's your experience?

    My only experience with X so far has been playing with it at the local Apple Store. <POST STUFFING>



    I'll be getting it for Christmas. The true of sign of the young geek.

    At home, must still use Office, but that shall change in a matter of days.



    Huzzah!

    I use X *almost* exclusively. I would use it 24/7 if I could but...
    • no SCSI CDR support

    • no RCA video capture or output support (ATi XClaim 128VR card)

    • Final Cut Pro

    other than rebooting for those few functions, I'm X-all-the-way.



    [edit]forgot about FCP

    Have 10.1 running on my iBook a WallStreet PB and the two PMG4s we use for web design.



    The webserver (until I get Lasso 5/Apache all figured out) our FileMaker servers and our two "print" design machines are still running 9.1 - 9.2.1



    I couldn't be happier, really, with 10.1



    Stable, fast and beautiful.



    Much more usable than 9.x was at its prime already.



    Even on my puny 128 meg iBook it's usable, though I would like more ram.



    I love it.

    The funny thing is that my younger brother has a DP G4/500 with 2GB RAM and LIVES in 9.2.1. I can't understand it!

    I have 10.1 on my iBook and haven't booted into OS 9 for about a month. I use Classic a lot still, but that should pass soon.

    At work, I sometimes use OS X with classic apps:
    • Outlook Express

    • Adobe Photoshop/ImageReady/Illustrator

    • Dreamweaver

    • Other gizmos (drop?rename, personal droplets, etc.)

    BUT at home, i'm using exclusively Mac OS X... too bad for thoses classic apps I was used to.

    I use it quite a bit, but if I really want to get stuff done, I have to boot back into OS 9.2. 10.1 is still a little too laggy for me, but it's coming along great!

    What's the point of having 2 GB RAM then? Mac OS 9.x doesn't recognize it!



    Yes - I'm in OS X full time, using classic for such app as NTK, of course!

    Two apps that are stopping me to use OSX full time



    Photoshop

    Final Cut Pro



    After Effects is okay under Classic but of course if the native version comes I will get it anyway

    I am using OS X exclusively on my iMac (1999) and iBook (2001). I was only using Classic for support of my Epson printer. Well, now that Epson has come around, I don't even need Classic!



    I'm even considering Office v.X, but AppleWorks is fine for now.

    JWPepper if the Epson SCSI scanner you have is a perfection 1200S it looks like its never going to be supported in OSX,that is what I have.The drivers are actually written by Adaptec and Epson is blaming them.Needless to say I am pissed at Epson and I am looking at other companies to supply my next scanner

    Been using OS 10 exclusively since the Public Beta came out-- when I reinstalled 10.1 back in October I didn't even load a copy of Classic onto my machine!

    Actually, Mac OS 9.2.1 seems to 'recognize' the 2 GB of RAM fine. Whether it can use that much is another story.

    I forgot to post my experience. Everything's running great on my iBook and 10.1 is SOOO much better than 10.0.x.
