I have to ask, how is .8 working for you. After the initial release, I decided to hold off on installing it. I have the same Sonnet G4 installed in my 9600 and used XPostFacto to install and then overlayed Sonnet's drivers and would like to compre notes.
My vote goes to OSX also, however..... Let me count the ways installing the 10.2.8 update messed me up:
reset (various)prefs - and not necessarily to "defaults". and not just "system prefs"
relaunched and set to on, all that norton auto file saver crap.
caused apps to crash, sometimes on launch, sometimes after running for a few.
over wrote all my CDRW device support files - rendering my burners useless until I installed the hacked drivers.
Mangled custom icons & all my HD drive directories, which eventually led to my OSX boot drive crashing...
....and more.
I finally got it all worked out and everything is back to running smooth. It did take a lot of time. I also noticed the finders a lot peppier with the upgrade.
I guess Upgrading QT , itunes, stuffitDLX, toast, and IE at the same time didn't help matters much - live & learn.
I agree with your sentiments regarding OS 9.1 - infact you could have kept 9.1 by grabbing the OpenGL stuff using something like Tombe viewer to extract files from 9.2.x tombe and placing them into 9.1 system folder.
If you go to this trouble, grab the OT & TCP/IP control panels and extensions from 9.2.2 and replace the ones in your 9.1 system for a noticeable online speed boost. the6400zone used to have an article about this and the files for DL also. Made it part of my standard install for 9.1- which I don't use anymore. BTW, I've found 9.2.2 to be WAY more stable than 9.1
