A new OS that focuses primarily on performance and stability?

Finally people are understanding it doesn't have to be all about fancy new UIs and features. OSX is solid in that area already.

While I may be in the minority, this is unhappy news (I guess that makes me a graybeard according to the article...). Not sure how others feel, but post-Tiger, PPC performance has actually taken a big lumpy hit. Leopard had new interesting features which I paid for, but I didn't realize that an additional 'feature' would be slower performance. Not to mention my own personal issues with the 10.5.3 update (note to future self: assuming that a core OS update will not totally break everything is truly a leap of faith). Just my .02

I would even go so far to venture that the performance slowdown is deliberate - Apple's goal is to sell you hardware, and to that end it would not surprise me if the PPC version is intentionally slower to give the illusion that you'll need an Intel Mac for it to really run well.

come to the intel dark side.

come to the Ubuntu brown side!
