They probably would have still broke 70% ;-). Apple >has definately done 7.0 right. There is so much functionality added, I can't Apple doesn't have to have 90% compatibility because on May 13 you'll see hundreds of upgrades for 7.0-ready applications. If I were Commodore, I'd be more careful with my developers too. Apple can afford to make its developers "come along", except for Microsoft. >imagine someone not upgrading. It is truly the best OS I've seen (for a >power user, or a casual user), that includes NeXT and Amiga 2.0 beta. I'll tell you one thing, I'll be running 7.0 for months before my users get it, and many home users don't need to upgrade their OS until they upgrade their apps. In fact, they shouldn't.
