Is that sarcasm? Any "normal" users could not tell the difference between Tiger on a PPC and Tiger on an Intel Mac, apart from the fact that PPC apps ran a bit slower due to Rosetta. Apple executed the switch excellently, and if the resources were available, OS4 & MOS would do well to follow the same path.
Okay, I suppose I was muddling things up a little bit there. My ire is for OSX as much as for the Intel switch, I kind of perceive them as the same thing since both happened after I was no longer using a Mac regularly.
And thank goodness for that! Macs were junk before the NeXTStep replacement and move to intel.
Even if that's true (and I disagree, I got along quite happily on classic Mac OS for years before I moved to PCs,) at least they were
their own junk, and not just BSD with a non-X desktop environment.
