		Mac OS X may have many changes in store and contain potential pitfalls for the seasoned Mac user, but with the power and mindshare of Unix and the usability and friendliness of the Macintosh combined, Apple's new OS will definitely be for the better in the long run.
		Mac OS X has a Unix like directory structure that may be a cause for confusion among Mac Users who are unfamiliar with Unix.
		The previous Mac OS did not have as large a variety of network services as it does now, so the potential for a security oversight is greater.

	Ars Technica: Mac OS X Beta - Page 1 - (10/2000) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
		Some people contend that "beta" means "feature-complete, but still buggy." Others consider it simply "more stable than alpha." The only real common ground these days is that "beta" means "unfinished." Whether that means merely that bugs still exist or that entire features remain unimplemented has to be determined on a case-by-case basis.
		Public Beta has been anxiously awaited by many Mac fans, even those that had access to the developer releases.
		Any and all features present in Public Beta are subject to change before release, but the window for such changes continues to shrink as APIs get locked down and software developers move their Mac OS X products closer to completion.

		Mac OS X is the first complete overhaul of Apple's operating system since the first one was launched about 17 years ago in 1984.
		Mac OS X Management exists to help others manage Mac OS X in a group setting, usually a student lab, but this could also be staff macs that are maintained in much the same way as a student lab.

	MacOpz- Mac OS X Public Beta
		The reason Apple has continually pushed back the release of OS X is that they truly need the time to bring this OS as close to perfection as possible, as this is really a make or break turning point for the Mac platform.
		Integration with the OS X finder is far more invisible, though the fact that it has the platinum interface makes it look very out of place when all around is aqua.
		One thing I never understood about DP3 (the first version of OS X I used), DP4, and Mac OS X Public Beta is the fact that when you create a new file, or you download a file it often takes a while for it to appear in the directory.

		Replacing the spatial Finder is OS X Beta is an extremely limited browser interface that has an entire problem set of its own.
		With the Mac, you have always had the power to move around and organize applications and documents in your own virtual space, maintaining a neat or cluttered workspace, as is your habit.

		Mac OS X has supported the Java Platform as a "first class citizen" — in practice this means that applications written in Java fit as neatly into the operating system as possible while still being cross-platform, and that graphical user interfaces written in Swing look almost exactly like native Cocoa interfaces.
		Mac OS X v10.2 was never officially referred to as Jaguar in the United Kingdom due to an agreement with the automobile manufacturer Jaguar, although boxes and CDs still bore the Jaguar-skin logo.

		This is not to say that the public beta isn't pretty reliable in its present form, considering the state of development.
		Over time, third party manufacturers will release beta or perhaps final release drivers that will allow their products to function under Mac OS X. One peripheral manufacturer told us the other day that they felt developing drivers for the new operating system might even be much easier than with older versions of the Mac OS.
		Mac OS X represents the future of the Mac operating system, and perhaps to a large extent the future of the company.

		Meantime, and Macs are still stuck in the 500Mhz zone, although the dual processor models help--or at least they will when Mac OS X passes Public Beta status and is in final release.
		Of course this is a Public Beta, so one shouldn't expect everything to work as efficiently as the final release.
		The Public Beta can be installed directly on your Mac's regular internal drive (it has to be the master drive on an ATA chain), and coexist peacefully enough with Mac OS 9.

	Mac OS X Public Beta Expires Today \|\| The Mac Observer
		For those that are still using the Mac OS X Public Beta as your primary OS or on a test machine, that version of the operating system will expire today.
		The May 15th expiration date was originally announced when the Public Beta was released late last summer, which essentially set today's date in stone as the deadline for delivering OS X 10.0.
		Apple beat that deadline by well over a month, and those that have continued to use Public Beta and not made the switch to OS X 10.0 will not be able to use the Public Beta after today.

		This ratio is typically quite low in the Mac OS world, where stories abound of the night janitor who also maintains the Mac-specific parts of the installation (or something similar – the support is part-time, low-volume, and not the sole purpose of a person’s employ).

	Technical Q&A QA1232: X11 FAQ
		Q: What is the X Window System (X11) for Mac OS X? A: X11 for Mac OS X is an implementation of the X Window System that makes it possible to run X11-based applications in Mac OS X. See www.apple.com/macosx/features/x11 for more information.
		Q: Where is the source code to X11 for Mac OS X? A: Yes, the source code for the X11 server is available from the Darwin site.
		You can paste in native Mac OS X applications as usual using Cmd-V. Because there is no standard for pasting in X11 applications (some use middle mouse button, some use control-v, etc.), cmd-v doesn't work for pasting in X11 applications by design.

	Inside the public beta of Mac OS X \| Tech News on ZDNet
		Sources who have gotten an early look at Apple Computer Inc.'s Mac OS X Public Beta tell ZDNet News that while the first end-user version of the new OS is more stable and feature-complete than its pre-release predecessors, it lacks many everyday features Mac users take for granted.
		The beta, which Apple CEO Steve Jobs has promised to roll out during his Wednesday morning keynote speech at Apple Expo in Paris, will let users try their hands at the new OS' Aqua interface, test a variety of new technologies, and run both traditional Mac applications and software optimized for the new OS.
		Overall, sources said, the beta offers better support for Mac applications than its predecessors; however, the Mac OS X public beta retains a strong flavor of NeXTstep, from the default log-in requirement on booting to the included chess application, to the Unix-like, network-oriented file structure.
