After the September Keynote, Puma was distributed by Apple employees directly at the conference venue, and regular Mac users received it on October 25 at Apple Stores and authorized retailers distributors. Mac OS X 10.1 Puma was slightly better received than its predecessor, but critics said it still lacked certain features and was full of bugs. Mac OS X Puma included, for example, the well-known and popular Aqua skin. Users also got the ability to move the Dock from the bottom of the screen to its left or right side, and also received the MS Office vX office package for Mac.
