That doesn't matter. You didn't buy those features in the first release.
Apple and Jobs were running around touting X as the greatest thing since the light bulb - not really being honest that there were a lot of limitations, bottlenecks, and so forth. Then when Jaguar came out they said was so much faster it was like a hardware upgrade, then the same thing when Panther came out. So in other words they turned out mediocre software to begin with but touted it as great. They did the same thing when the PowerPC came out 1994. For years later they were still converting code from 68000 to PowerPc.
Its the marketing/dishonesty which is the issue. As you know, you can't buy software and try it out then decide. You buy it on the hype, then deal with it.
I still have a Tibook 550mhz and running Panther even is so slow that as to be unbelievable ... the endless colored beachball... something that didn't happen on the machine I upgraded from..a g3/333 powerbook. That tibook is primarily used as a $3000 paperweight now, while I write this on an ibook.
