OS X 'going public' with little fanfare
updated 03:40 pm EST, Wed March 21, 2001
Charles Haddad notes that Mac OS X is "going public with very little hoopla" because the market needs time to catch up: "All this is part of an effort to build a groundswell for OS X in the next six months. By then, the company hopes, some good new applications will be on the market that'll make OS X a compelling buy. Right now, despite the list of 40 apps under development on the Apple site, I think the software makers' support is still up in the air. I've been carpet-bombed with e-mail in the past griping about my questioning of developer support, but I think skepticism is warranted until we see a critical mass of new OS X-friendly software."

Blabla and blabla.
For your info Mr C Haddad, Maya and other 3D apps are already in Beta. We also know about the "bell curve" steve talked about.
We know that we have to wait a few more months. Big deal.
We can start OS 9 under OS X ! And Apple is not forcing you to buy OS X.
Personally, I'll be using the news OS X as soon as possible. Can't wait to replace the old and dusty OS 9.
So instead of wasting your time writting some boring articles about stuff that everyone knows, please write some positive and interesting news.
