Andrew Orlowski writes in The Register about retrograding his machine from OSX to OS9:
Aqua has been more a case of a death of a thousand cuts: there’s no big flaw so obnoxious it’s enough to cause a revolt, but it’s felt like a constant hindrance, and the annoyances add up.
Henry Norr says similar things:
After months of forcing myself to use Mac OS X, I’ve gone back to Mac OS 9 and Office 2001.
Many readers agree with Orlowski:
One of the things that bothers me the most is that they spent time and resources on getting dumb ass quicktime movies to play in the dock instead of fixing bugs, making the ‘finder’ speed usable, or even updating must have features like software base station for airport. Who wants to watch a movie that is that damn small?
But at least one reader demurs:
I cant believe you bashed it so hard ! You obviously dont know what the hell your talking about when it comes to macintosh. I think i am going to stop comming to your gay site for any news anymore because you were so hateful on the new OS. What were you thinking?? PC users are all the same, quick to make dumb comments and bash on Mac at any chance.
