If you want 10.1 spoiled for you, read this!

Okay i spent about 3 days getting 10.1 and i really gotta thank God cuz i take it as a miracle. Well anyways 10.1 Rocks!! Applications really do launch 2-3 times faster!! Ive played around with OS X on a G4 at the store before, and now my G3 goes faster than that G4!! When you guys get 10.1 i really believe that you guys are gonna get ur socks knocked off. There is a new Version of IE and also iTunes has been upgraded to 1.1.2. Today it took me only 2 bounces to relaunch the Finder! However i see why its not released to the public yet. Java Apps go slow as hell (LimeWire) and i already had a kernel panic when i first installed it. But ever since then it has been goin sooooooo smooth. Windows resize much much much much faster. Oh yeah, and my dock - on my G3 my dock took all my CPU usage and took forever just for magnification, now theres no slowing-down at all. It feels like ive upgraded to a dual G4. Oh and my scroll button on my mouse works in the Finder now! Apple I love you

Is it possible, for a non-developper like me, to find this version somewhere...?
Did you try the DVD player too...?

Thanks for your post anyway because all the posts from people trying different builds and finding them worst than 10.0.4 were depressing me...!

of course! most of the builds that people were complaining about were earlier builds. Im using the MacWorld Preview and its excellent. Ive been up all night minimizing windows and watching in awe from how fast it goes.

Anyways, to answer your question. 10.1 is available and very easy to get, but you need a CD burner. It took a while for me to get a burned CD bootable, but eventually it worked. 10.1 is all over Carracho! About a week ago no one had it, but now it seems that everyone does. i havn't tried DVD playback yet because i dont have a DVD player yet. Hope that helps though.

Oh yeah, and one more note, the only thing im disappointed in 10.1 so far (and its really not a big deal because it will be fixed anyway) is that I can't use the developer tools. They install ok, but when i try to use interface builder, its all out of wack. Project Builder is good though. But the speed improvements are so marvelous, that i dont even care if i have to use another computer to develop. Once again -Apple I love you

oh yea sorry to keep posting like this, but another cool feature is that the scroll button on my mouse works in menu's. Pretty cool huh....?

Can you tell us how to find this build 5F24 to download...?
I tried but didn't find it yesterday night.
Is it on some web sites or more via newsgroups...?

Thanks
