Pretty Pleased with Panther

By C.K. Sample, III

My article, Pretty Pleased with Panther,
is up and running over at Apple Matters. The article is an opinion piece where I muse about the past year and a few months with Panther. I think Panther has been a great OS that has served me very well, and while I
am looking forward to Tiger, I don't think it's going to be the same breakthrough-OS in stability that Panther was, and I'm not looking forward to the inevitable bugs that will pop-up in the early iterations of the OS.

Here's the intro snippet: "With Tiger right around the corner, I thought it would be a good idea to take a look back at the year (and a few months) of Panther. Overall,
I'd have to say that I have been very pleased with Panther, and,
perhaps as a result, I'm not feeling overly jazzed about Tiger. Don't get me wrong. I'm interested to see many of the Tiger improvements;
however, a good handful of these improvements are already possible in Panther with the help of a few 3rd party gems. And the few things that I despise about the Mac OS X interface don't show much sign of changing when Tiger comes out." Give it a read and let me know what you think.  Will you miss Panther?
