Apple Mac OS X Panther v.10.3 Complete Product

Strengths: Very simple to use. I love the new option to hide windows, with the F keys. With the past version I wasn't able to load all the pictures at once like I cannow. great improvement

Weakness: The calendar doesn't include notes , like Palm does. I wish it did, so I wouldn't have to use Palm.

Simple and easy to use. I love all the icons. As a Graphic Designer I have to say that is great the fact that this system doesn't crash like the past versions. I only wished I didn't have to buy all the new Graphic Design software upgrades to make sure it works good.

Strengths: Nice update

Weakness: None

A continuing committment by Apple to improve and expand an already great operating system. A seamless environment which ought to encourage developers to get on the band wagon.

Apple Mac OS X Panther v.10.3 Complete Product

Strengths: Stable OS. Cool interface. Thru Expose there's a nice use of function keys.

Weakness: None found so far.

It's great that an Apple GUI is built on top of UNIX. Everything is faster, slicker, more polished, and finally all of the little irritations seem sorted out. When connecting to a digital camera, you plug it in and it just works. You don't have to worry about drivers or whether you've got the right software installed - all of the apps just work. To top it off, the operating system has not crashed...

Strengths: Runs very smoothly~

Weakness: None so far!

Easy installation. No issues with the OS crashing. I like the hiding windows feature. I am sure that there are many features that I have yet to discover, but so far so good. Happy customer!

Apple Mac OS X Panther v.10.3 Complete Product

Strengths: nice improvements to Finder, Mail, Safari, etc.

Weakness: none found yet

Installation/upgrade process went very smoothly. Since there are already Panther updates available, I used Software Update to get those immediately after installing from CD (but that wouldn't be practical without broadband). Exposé, the new window manager, is particulalry cool. Built-in fax support is very welcome too, though long overdue. So far, all improvements work as advertised. A nice...

Apple Mac OS X Panther v.10.3 Complete Product

Strengths: Highly intuitive operating system. Solid.

Weakness: Very little support for older Macs with USB/FW port cardbus.

I loaded Panther on a 500mhz G3 Powerbook(Pismo) with 1024RAM. It was a little troublesome to load at first but runs like a dream. It is very intuitive and offerrs assistants and help at the click of a mouse. The disk utility also checks for permissions conflicts on your system. This four disc set also comes with an X-tools disk that I have yet to explore. The only draw backs were the conflict...

Apple Mac OS X Panther v.10.3 Complete Product

Strengths: No problems with installation. Computer actually seems to be a bit faster (as advertised). Other applications are a bit more stable, as well.

Weakness: Long installation duration.

I had been hesitant to get the Panther OS, given some of the published problems with installation and certain unsupported applications. However, now that I have it installed, most everything seems to be running better/faster than before (under OSX 10.2.8). The installation, while a bit lengthy, proceeded without incident and my Mac (G4 400MHz) restarted with no problems. I only have a few apps...

Apple Mac OS X Panther v.10.3 Complete Product

Strengths: Fast, Better Icons, New Programs

Weakness: Takes a lot of disk space

This version is a vast improvement over previous versions. The update from Apple's Web site is a must, though. Without it, you'll experience possible disk corruption. If you haven't upgraded yet, now is the time.

Apple Mac OS X Panther v.10.3 Complete Product

Strengths: Stable OS, very good additional features. ALWAYS better than WINDOWS!!!

Weakness: Apple still charging too much for minor upgrade packages, and not giving any upgrade discounts for those who already upgraded in the past year - come on Steve Jobs, let's not be so greedy!

I like the new version. So far, no issues with the OS crashing or anything, I like the ease in hiding windows that I didn't have with OS 10.2 I do think it would be nice if Apple charged less for minor upgrades versus major ones, or provide upgrade discounts for those of us who have had OS 10.2 for less than 6 months. I got a great deal for the OEM version from eagletronics.com, one of...

I just purchased and installed Mac OS X-Panther. It seems Apple is getting better in their upgrades and installation techniques. I had no problem in its installation and, if it performs as well as the Jaguar, I am confident many PC users will buy Apple products.

Panther Apple 10.3 OS

This is the Mac OS, if your Gx can run it, you've bought it whatever we say, or have it bundled on newer Macs.
