Features:

Performance enhancementsMac OS X v10.1 introduced large performance increases throughout

the system.

DVD playback supportDVDs can be played in Apple DVD Player

More printer support (200 printers supported out of the box)One of the main complaints of

version 10.0 users was the lack of printer drivers, and Apple attempted to remedy the situation by

including more drivers, although many critics complained that there were still not enough.

Faster 3D (OpenGL performs 20% faster)The OpenGL drivers, and handling were vastly improved

in this version of Mac OS X, which created a large performance gap for 3D elements in the

interface, and 3D applications.

Improved AppleScriptThe scripting interface now allows scripting access to many more system

components, such as the Printer Center, and Terminal, thus improving the customizability of theinterface. As well, Apple introduced AppleScript Studio, which allows a user to create full

AppleScript applications in a simple graphical interface.
