Yes, Mac OS X 10.0 is pretty rough around the edges; but I think it
would be wrong to assume that Apple doesn't plan on correcting most of
the shortcomings in the future.

The product that Apple refers to as a progression of the Mac OS - I
prefer
to call it something else. What I was referring to is that Apple's
tendency
to present a moving target to dedicated developers like the MBU place a
far
bigger burden of performance on them (as they are trying to hit a
constantly
moving target), and that this could have been avoided if OS X
development
had been less of an ego driven project, and more of a well-planned,
technology focused one.

Not sure I understand what you are saying here - IE 5 for Classic works
just
fine (in fact it works magnitudes faster under Classic, than the OS X
version works). Although if you mean that they are trying to bring OS X
IE 5
to the same level as IE 5 for OS 9, then I'd agree - which is why I
understand their lack of emphasis on new features. It's already darn
difficult just to hit that target, right now. I'm sure that in 18 months
or
so, it will have reasonably stopped moving.
At least I hope so.
