Panther... Roar

June 29th, 2003

Earlier this week I "grabbed" a copy of Mac OS X 10.3 - Developer Preview (Code-name: Panther) and have been playing around for the last couple of days. Since I didn't want to run a Preview OS on my primary drive, I pulled the 60 gig drive out of my fancy Drive Enclosure, and put in an old 4 gig seagate drive from my recently donated PC. I must say that Panther is definitely cool.

Here are my initial thoughts:

  • Finder:
    1. The metal look sucks.
    2. The fancy sidebar with all my disks and aliases is great, makes getting around the file system much easier.
    3. Everything is much quicker; menus, searching, and scrolling are almost like OS 9!
  • iChat AV:
    1. Free phone calls, very cool.
    2. Video conferencing, also cool.
    3. Amateur porno, we'll wait and see.
  • Mail:
    1. HTML rendering actually works!
    2. Seems much faster.
    3. I love the new sound effects.
  • Exposé:
    • How did I live without this?
  • Fast User Switching:
    • I don't use multiple users, but it's really cool to watch.
  • Preview:
    • Goodby Adobe Reader.
