Simplified machines for clueless users seems to be their only motto these days which is ironic considering todays' users are more computer savvy than past generations, yet Steve treats everyone like they're right out of the 1940s and don't even know what a computer is. Unix disappeared sheepshaver pro#Throw it in with the new Final Cut "Pro" that isn't professional and the Macbook "Pro" that is a consumer machine and the Mac Pro that wasn't made for anyone and you have Steve's "vision" for modern computing. Some of us don't think smart phones are ready to replace notebooks and iPads aren't ready to replace desktops and the so-called Cloud is no replacement for a fast internal hard drive and Intel integrated graphics are no competition for a high-end video card nor is a consumer video card in a Mac Pro a replacement for a professional video card (something Apple no longer offers). ![]() I think it's a shame Apple doesn't care about desktop computers and traditional notebooks anymore. Time to get a PC again whether you want it or not because OSX isn't going to be around much longer as a true desktop OS. Too bad if you still like real computers. It's the same as getting out of the computer market in general and making smart devices the new and eventually only focus. The problem is that the old territory isn't exactly going anywhere in the mean time. Steve has chosen to exit the desktop OS arena and move into what he sees as new territory and the future. ![]() Just where do you think OSX will be when Windows8 comes out? More iOS features added to a stale OSX core? Microsoft isn't sitting on their laurels when it comes to Windows development and that's the key difference. Unix disappeared sheepshaver update#Add up all the truly useful changes to OSX since Tiger and you can count them on one hand, while the speed of OSX has been getting slower since Leopard came out with each incarnation including the supposed "efficiency" update that was supposed to be Snow Leopard (yet runs slower in nearly every measurable way from Leopard). OSX hasn't changed in any truly meaningful way since Tiger came out. Notice how the Mac/PC ads all disappeared when Windows7 showed up. Windows7 showed Microsoft wasn't just going to sit around and let Apple brag all day long. Steve let OSX sit on the shelf while he developed the iGadget lines and let the Macintosh lines rot except for minimal CPU updating and the like. OSX looked to be sitting very high and mighty for a couple of years there. Unix disappeared sheepshaver software#For all its "mess" Windows seems to run the same software faster and better than the Mac these days (graphics aren't even close on the Mac) while Apple cuts features from so-called "Pro" products instead of adding them and seems more concerned about what their phones can do than their flagship computers. ![]() Real Macintosh fans get the shaft in favor of more phones and clouds instead of faster graphics. That's an odd view to have, IMO when Microsoft is constantly improving Windows and working on a vision for the future while Steve is too busy working on the net iGadget to care about what happens to the "trucks" of the industry. ![]()
