I assume by this you're referring to the particular constraints of
running a particular OS on a particular hardware configuration. Just to
put it into perspective, the first beige G3 was introduced in 1997, but
the Public Beta was not released until 2000 and OS X 10.0 not until 2001.
The hardware issues that affected OS X didn't become apparent, then, for
several years. These were originally OS 8 machines, after all.
