Safari, so good: browser and Bluetooth boost OS X By Andrew Orlowski Posted: 05/02/2003 at 09:09 GMT Something funny happened on the way back from the Forum. About a week before MacWorld a fellow Apple user asked me if Jagwyre had been enough to lure me to OS X full time. "Pah!" I groused - "when it matches the speed of MacOS and that kind of tactile comfort I get with MacOS, then sure, I'll be right over." Because I've never used a computer UI - and I've used many on what have been much better computers - that match that tactile sense that makes the computer UI feel as natural as a pair of chopsticks should: an extension of your fingers. About a week after MacWorld I noticed I hadn't rebooted back into MacOS 9 for quite a few days. This was almost entirely down to Safari, the new OS X-only browser Apple launched at the show. Now Safari isn't a metaphor-shattering breakthrough like the advent of the spreadsheet or the first consumer DTP applications. It isn't even a dramatically more of a "wow! have a look at this!" browser than any of its peers. And I personally haven't the great "innovations" Jobs enthused about in his keynote - "Snapback" for example, goes unused. whole story at theregister.co.uk
