Summary: Is it worth it?
Review: I don't know if it's really worth the price. I don't have a tablet (no inkwell for me) and I don't have a machine that will benefit from Quartz Extreme. I can get QT6 without Jaguar, and iTunes3 works without Jaguar. I'm happy with the address book as is, and while iChat could be cool, it's not alone worth [the price].

Summary: Positive Reinforcement
Review: It's clear that Apple is listening to users and developers alike as never before. There was skepticism of the original release of OS X from critics because it was so thoroughly different from any other operating system, not to mention skepticism from Macintosh users because of a gigantic step from previous Mac operating systems. I feel that with the release of OS X 10.2, Apple continues to move its self back into the comfortable notch that the single-digit OS's once held, and proves that Apple makes the fastest, most user-friendly, and absolutely gorgeous operating systems in the world.

Summary: Amazing
Review: You probably have seen or heard about Apple's switch ads. You know, the people that have switched over to Apple for one reason or another, or even multiple reasons. Well, I am one of them...and OS X 10.2 is one of the primary reasons why.
I have been impressed with OS X since I first became familiar with it a few months ago. Now, since "Jag-Wire's" unveiling at the MacExpo New York show, I cannot wait to get my hands on this OS. The new stuff including Rendezvous for instant communication among peripherals, iCal for my calendaring needs, and of course the updated iTunes make this product simply amazing. Not to mention it is simply breathtaking to look at. But Jaguar is not all looks. The stability of the UNIX underpinnings of this OS really have me sold. This is what an operating system was meant to be. Easy. Reliable. Not in the way. Let OS X 10.2 make your computing experience fun again.

Summary: A must-have upgrade
Review: There has been a lot of griping among the Mac faithful about the price of upgrading to Mac OS X 10.2. I am not one of those you will hear complaining. I had the chance to play with a beta of 10.2 at an Apple Store this weekend and it was impressive. If this upgrade delivers on the expectations it will be--by far--the most powerful and most usable desktop operating system on the planet.

Summary: Macintosh OS X 10.2 (Jaguar
Review: This is an absolute must have upgrade! For Mac users, this system is speedier, seems more stable and includes a lot of upgrades and improvements that really show the maturity of this system in 2 short years. For those who have never used Mac OS X, this will remind you of why you bought a computer in the first place, because it's fun and you can get so many things done! Ichat combines all your messaging systems into one unit, the Address Book is system wide (no more having 20 different databases with the same information.) Rendezvous lets you link your computers and devices instantly without any configuration! Even Sherlock has been upgraded to deliver stock quotes, maps, restaurants and more without a browser...

Summary: MUST HAVE upgrade...
Review: This is by far the biggest upgrade of an OS since...well, EVER. OSX has gotten more stable and more productive since the first beta build, and this release in August will increase that stability by leaps and bounds... Built-in Instant Messaging, bulit-in Windows network connectivity, a FREE mail program with as good of a set of features as you'll find in Microsoft Entourage (combined with the new calender program- iCal- of course). If you've ever had the inclination to make the 'switch' over from a PC, NOW IS THE TIME!!!!

Summary: Look Out Windows XP
Review: I have seen this operating system at work. It is the smoothest, most flawless OS available. Right now I'm running 10.1 and my computer has never froze. 10.2 is not only faster and more stable, it also has a whole lot of extras which I am willing to pay the full [amt.]for. I am an AIM fanatic and seeing iChat is, by far, the coolest messenger program I've seen. Also, the speed of the graphics is an absolute must see. Thumbs up Apple!!

Summary: Apple delivers on the promise of OS X
Review: 10.2 is not so much an update, as it is an entirely a new OS. There are so many changes, some big, some small, but all are welcome. From interface changes, nice features and overall improvements in speed, this is what you have been waiting for. Great apps like iChat, Sherlock 3, great features like internet sharing, CUPS printing with support for thousands of printers and Quicktime 6, with MPEG-4 support. Don't forget Rendevous for networking that just works and Inkwell handwriting recognition. The address book is brilliant, as is Mail and the spam filters. Like all the other Apple features, they aren't just easy; they work. There is also expanded Audio(MIDI) support, GCC 3.1, a much improved Preview and so many more features than I can list here. There is so much in Jaguar, there is something that will appeal to everyone. This is a mature release of OS X and while it has a many features for 'serious' computer users, it is also, fun and a joy to use. Do yourself a favor and buy Jaguar. At the very least, drop in on an Apple store and use it, but bring your wallet; if you use it, you'll be buying it.
