What readme? I was just looking at a demo machine and there was and IE
icon....I'd venture to guess that nobody in the store had read the readme,
either.
I remember when I worked for a hardware/software company, and we were at a
trade show, and I was demoing our new video terminal with built-in
intelligent editing and split screen (hah!). This was like in 1970 or 1971.
The thing was so far from being finished, I was the only person in the
company who could run a demo on it without having it freeze; I had to hit
the keys in the exact same order every time. The slightest deviation would
crash it. We wheeled it out of sight so nobody else would touch it when the
demo was over.
OS X is <lots> better than that!! But Apple should not be throwing a beta of
something as basic as a web browser out there on machines that will have
thousands of non-geeks and geeks tapping away at it and experiencing
thousands of freezes. Really bad PR! They should have demoed it with someone
who knew how to hit all the right keys in the right order and then wheeled
it back out of sight until it was really finished. Now, maybe I am mixing
the OS with IE here. If so, maybe X without beta apps would have been
smarter.
