  • [quote]Originally posted by pscates: Watching the keynote and hearing Jobs talk about OS X migration, I was wondering why - at this point - more people haven't made the leap to OS X A. Use OS X 100% of the time, at home C. Use OS X and OS 9 (…

  • [quote]Originally posted by nothing: Apple does a good job with pre-installing, and 99% there's nothing to worry about - but you don't want to be in that 1% when it would have only taken 10 minutes to avoid a lot of potential headaches. 1 bad …
  • [quote]Originally posted by pscates: ... how about Apple offering the ability to choose either the brushed metal look or the more standard, common Apple/OS X vibe in all the apps in question? I respect your dislike of the brushed metal look, but I…
