As long as you ignore that whole part of the OS was still running 68K code on PPC Macs, it crashed like a drunk driving a semi truck without protected memory and the end user still had to fiddle with the amount of memory an app could use
I miss having snappy menubar lists, at the Apple Store yesterday I noticed on the Neo that the transparencies and iconified menu items with shortcut glyphs are still perceptibly less buttery smooth.

I would have gone with 7.5.3 or 6.0.7. I’m also fine with OS X and once they started shipping SSDs the virtual memory has been performant.
Compared to Windows sure. Compared to linux, its incredibly bloated.
Objectively untrue. Classic MacOS with GUI could be run under <1MB RAM. Linux without GUI both officially and actually required >2MB.

Yeah and everyone seems to forget how insanely slow Macs were.
My first Mac had only 128k. The real drag was swapping floppies.
