Ars Technica has posted another episode of their boundless and evenhanded review of Mac OS X. This time they put the screws to changes in the DP4 release, get all niggly with the details of code bundles and application packages, and wax poetic on the user experience.
“Aside from the reclaimed pixels and small concession towards Dock organization, my previous complaints about the Dock still stand. It’s still one-dimensional, it still presents moving targets of finite height, it still lacks text labels without a mouse-over, it still takes up too much screen real estate, it still tries to fill too many roles, and it’s still a very poor substitute for the functionality missing in DP4.”
A couple of the more interesting tidbits mentioned in this article include the probably use of vector graphics in the new QuickTime player GUI, and Apple’s guidelines for creating Mac OS X icons.
