's Mac OS 8 Installation and Use Page has been updated. Here is my current list of major hits and misses:
- Hits
- Greatly improved stability
- One-click-stick popup and pulldown menus--I really love this!
- Easier installation and setup -- Assistants and Mac OS Info Center
- Multithreaded Finder
- Live scrolling
- Finder appearance and its flexibilty
- Misses
- Problems using CD as startup device during installation
- Slower floppy diskette handling
- Apple CD-ROM v5.4 not supporting 3rd party drives
- Charcoal system font (Not in the same league but I couldn't resist.)
- Undecided
- Contextual menus
- Spring-loaded folders
- The internet stuff and Pointcast and Castanet Tuner
