Mac OS X shows such promise
Saturday, Sep 23, 2000
To me, the most thrilling thing about Mac OS X is that it's so primitive. The altered paradigms are a little difficult to grok, and there is a lot of room for new ideas to creep in.

In short, it reminds me more of System 1.0 (back in '84) than Mac OS 9. While OS 7.5, 8, 8.1, 8.5, and 9 were all adding complexity to a full boat, OS X is sophisticated yet clean, trashing a lot of the interface cues, and reducing the bloat. This is exactly the culling which makes things difficult now, but will mature into something truly amazing over the next five or six years.
