Its so cool, although has a lot of little bugs, mostly visual. And the fast user switch thing, the cube thing doesn't happen.
It is so awesome. i got it from bit torrent. The torrent file was on the mac newsgroups if anyone wants to go hunting.

Prolly an old version, or maybe the cubing thing requires some kind of high end graphics card like QE.
Whatever... Apple has a good history of releasing stable versions. Im sure when the final comes out in August the majority of bugs will be squished, anything remaining will be minor, and repaird in subsequent patches.
This is another thing Apple does well, the versions last a good while, and patches are speedy and FREE! Windoze wishes they were this cool.

it has much potential. I am so glad they got a network neighborhood. I was so tired of the connect to server box. As I type this I am preparing to have Jaguar on my 40gb HD and Panther on my 60gb. Panther will be my primary, but Jag will be there to back me up. Expos

As I continue to use Panther I find that the Finder is unfunnily unstable. When u do one search it works. Then you hit back or the x next to the search button and search again. The little spinny lines go and go and never find anything. Then if u close the window, push the x, or click back the finder closes. Also, when it closes the finder icon reverts back to the old one. The only way to get the new finder icon back is to close the dock by doing killall Dock.

Another Update...
I am pleased to report that Apple fixed the problem with Brushed Metal Apps. This problem being if a window using brushed metal is in the background and you click, for example, the minimize button. The window used to (in Jag) come to the front then minimize. If you did this to a non brished metal app it would just minimize in the background. In Panther brushed metal apps no longer come to the front. Go ahead and try it, open a safari window and 2 finder windows. put one finder window above the safari window and one below. then while in the finder, click the yellow button on safari, notice it comes to the front then minimizes (very annoying). Now minimize the rearmost finder window, see how it stays in the back and minimizes. This is how all apps work in panther.
