The differences between 10.0/1/2/3 are bigger than the difference between System 7 and OS8, and we all know how long that took. The incompatability that they have when they release a new system is very-Microsofty. Anyone else seen this?
I have to admit, I "switched" just as OS X came out. i've never run os 9, BUT, Remember this is a new OS, from the bottom up. a lot of the changes, esp from .0 to .1 and less in the last 2 large jumps, were adjustments as they saw what we liked, what worked, waht didn't. you'll notice in panther, for example, they FINALLY brought back labels (I've been listening to people yell for them since the PB days!!), and when your right-click on Sys prefs, it lists all the pref screens, so you can go directly to the one you want.

Hell, maybe they're just trying to make us windows-converts a bit more at home
