Not necessarily. It is on a Pro-Mac site and therefore might help those 
who use those applications which are affected by cooperative multitasking 
issues. I would hardly call it carping. Usually that accusation is used 
by those who disagree with the discussion, happens all the time.

I often find that while I am working in X, if someone so much as goes on 
or off the network, it makes the system hesitate, which never happened on 
OS 9.
I won't even speculate on what causes that, with only two apps open, each 
taking up minimal RAM.

The effort to nullify 9 with the attitude that because of the 
introduction of a radically different system, all of a sudden 9 is a 
horrid beast that sucks is not helpful to the 75% who are still using it 
or to those who have one foot in each world. I think the article shows 
that while something is different, it is not necessarily better in all 
areas.

In other words, people can promote the use and success of X without 
denigrating the use of 9.
