It' a terrific time to be an OS X User. It's just amazing to watch how this Operating System evolves over the time.
I think this is going to be a great year for OS X.
The best thing that Apple could do is enable ALL core technology and tweak it as much as possible. Developers would surely appreciate this.
They have to make this OS the ultimate Platform for Games, Music, Video, Java, Streaming Services and Office Applications.
It should be:
FAST
CRASH-PROOF (It's almost 99.9% there) 🙂
EFFICIENT
PRODUCTIVE
Users should be able to enable/disable GUI stuff that they don't want, to concentrate on their work and not waiting till the window gets finally minimized.
I can't wait until 10.2 comes out.

I agree, but I think Apple would release them both (G4 iBook & G5 Powermac) at the same time then to avoid having the product line spread over three different processors. The ibook would be one of the early things spoken about at the Keynote, somewaht low-key due to a lack of any huge jump in clock speed, then the G5 would be the, "one more thing...". Of course, no one would actually see the G5 machine for a couple months but thats when the orders would start coming in (and G4s still available at a discounted price for a limited time).
I also think they could avoid narrowing the gap too much between the ibook & powerbook by keeping the ibook at 600mhz when they drop the G4 in. Thats still pretty close to 667mhz, but they could bump the Tibook in Sept. and hold off on speed jumps in the ibook until January.
But I don't see any of this happening until MWNY.
(I plan to buy an ibook in Aug/Sept but I want a G4 for OSX, as my girlfriend's 600mhz iMac is too slugish for me. I'll keep my B&W G3 450 on 9.1 for now, and probably forever since its a dedicated ProTools box and its performance has been great and, most importantly, reliable.)
