Why 'Panther'?

Good question... for some reason Apple started code naming their new releases after big cats... OS X.2 was "Jaguar" and the box and CD featured a Jaguar skin printed X... Panther has a black box and black CDs.

does it look substantially different from Windows? I've seen some Linux screenshots and was actually impressed, especially by the 'image editor' named, oddly, GIMP

If I ever go Linux, I'll definitely want that.

screenshots?

Obviously the next upgrade needs to be "Sabertooth"!

Glad you like your new system.
I am still using Jaguar.
