I would expect OSX to handle video and sound better, as they are both things that can be helped by true interupt-driven multi-tasking. --Michael > On Thursday, May 23, 2002, at 10:46 AM, Do-Not-Reply-To-This-Address > wrote: > >> b) STILL won't >> play DVDs without jittering/skipping -- there was no esxcuse for this >> in the Wallstreet, and there's even less excuse now.
