I'm just wondering if anyone is sticking with OS2007 when the final version of OS2008 gets released. If yes, why?
I should add that everything else works well enough for me that without the functionality I now have with the apps under 2007, it wouldn't be worthwhile to update to 2008.

I'm considering to go back to OS2007. At least in the last 2008 beta version microB is so much slow compared to the good old Opera.

I just selectively enable them when I want, which is rare
It seems plenty fast with them disabled, but I didn't use Opera long enough to really compare the two.

I concur that I will not upgrade until the apps that are important to me are ported -- abiword, gnumeric, evince, gpe, etc. Once they are available, I will consider it, because in the long run, once a new version of the firmware is released, the viability of older versions are numbered -- no new apps.
Just my 2 cents. K.

Gnumeric IS ported. I got it yesterday. Skype isn't unstable -- it just plain doesn't work in 2008, in my experience. And I tried the update that came yesterday, thank you.
2008 is clearly better, it's just a matter of time till virtually everyone adopts it.

Maybe we should also disable Javascript, HTML and CSS. I imagine then MicroB will blow us away with blazing performance.

For me, they're not. I go to amazon to buy things, so why not disable them, and save CPU, RAM, battery life, etc.
If there's a flash animation I'd like to see, I'll enable flash.
Stick with OS2007 and enjoy your blazing fast Flash 9 videos in Opera.
