that these are all just visual enhancements? I'm not saying OS X isn't gorgeous and I'm not saying that it isn't a solid OS on the technical side, but just because an OS _looks_ great doesn't automatically mean its improved greatly... Yes OSX is cute, but lets focus on technical improvements as well...

  Technical improvements? Don't know how they do it, but performance is noticeably better on two Tangerine iBooks, plus on one white G3 iBook and one G4 iBook. Zippy. Not a very technical analysis, but the improved speed is evidence of improved technology.

  He repeatedly made mention that he was only listing cosmetic enhancements that reflected a thoughtfulness of design.
  
  100% of my time with Panther is spent interacting with the visual side of it, so I appreciate any efforts Apple takes to make it look better, act better, or work better.
  
  I don't think anyone would disagree with your contention that looks aren't everything, but they would disagree with your use of the word "just" in the first sentence.
