I've used Enlightenment, and I've used a lot of other fluff systems, OS X generally feels damn smooth to me. Early tonight I was just saying to ben how I think Aqua feels like an light weight window manager. A lot of aqua has been designed towards speed. > In fact, Mac OS X reminds me of the late great Edsel Gnome or > Enlightenment window manager with all its ripple effects and > translucent windows.

When you run classic apps you are really running a whole OS 9 system in the background I believe. I would assume that would feel very clunky. Personally I don't boot any classic apps. I already have what I need from the unix side, the OS X side is just a playground :) Jim > > Hal > --
