Re: All 4 OSX 10.0 image processing hackers: snubbed by corax 01/25/2006, 7:06am PST Wow, so it only took three people to port GIMP 2 and Freetype? Did you even own a Mac back then? Anyone who wanted to do anything in OS X for the first year or two was stuck dual-booting to do trivial tasks such as checking their email (Mail 1.0 was buggy and incomplete) or writing a letter (printing from Classic was nearly impossible). Even for the non-hackers, being told to revert to OS 9 after laying down $130 for OS X was not much fun. OS X was clearly beta software when it was first released, with far poorer backwards compatability than previously advertised. Which brings us to the Intel Macs: once again, major apps only run under emulation, Rosetta in this case. There are two main differences this time, however: it's hardware emulation, so it's probably even slower (relatively) than Classic, and there is no OS 9-like fallback if something just refuses to work. If paying for beta software is bad, paying for beta hardware is even worse.
