The vast majority of the people using OS X betas are running the original
Public Preview.
And that's coming up on 6 months old...
I've read that there have been substantial changes since then.
I say "I've read" because if I had any personal knowledge, I'd be under NDA
and revealing such information would be "wrong".
So far as what mail client to run: pretty much any one that you want to
run.
Just about any existing Macintosh mail client should work in Classic mode.
Just about any existing UNIX client should be capable of running in
association with Darwin.
And just about any existing Windows client should be capable of running
under Virtual PC. And "I've read" that the MacOS X version of Virtual PC is
awfully danged nice under MacOS X. Especially if you've a multiprocessor
system.
Still...if I were a "mere mortal", I'd probably wait on MacOS X until it was
the default install on newly shipped machines (most likely sometime this
summer/fall).
Or, if I had a lot of third party peripherals, I'd also wait and see how
many get updated drivers. I think we're going to see far more "broken
hardware" than "broken software". "I've read" that the "moving target"
nature of MacOS X has allegedly made it difficult for developers to write
MacOS X compatible drivers.
