Mac OS runs smoothly. That's what I noticed first off. There's very little waiting, very little fussing, very little Ctrl+Alt+Del/End Task for behavior control. For Macintosh Computer Users, Mac OS 9 is the last stop a famous train. It’s the last version of the operating system that changed the world that put the Mac on the map and inspired such imitators as Microsoft Windows. After Mac OS 9, Apple Computer plans to introduce Mac OS X, a radically new operating system that looks and works nothing like the Mac we’ve come to know. Mac OS 9 is better designed and more conductive to productivity than Mac OS X. Mac OS 9 still offers such familiar and useful features as the launcher, menu, application menu control strip, pop-up windows, collapsible windows, and so on.

The dynamic animation present in the OS at each step is immediately noticeable; the system updates icon began "dancing" to notify me that there were updates available for download. The update function works like Windows Update and Red Hat Network; it simply goes out and installs the updates with your approval. Special features: Think of this scenario. You’re sitting at your Mac, working away. If you’re like most of us, you’ve got a few things going on. Word processor, spreadsheet, email, iChat, browser, even iTunes music. For Mac users, there’s a stack of DJ software available to help you in your quest for stardom as a DJ. The latest dream came to light with a nifty Mac Part called Cue Phase. Finally, DJ software that non-DJ’s could use. In other words, you cue up music in a stack, click and the stack starts playing on your Mac.
