Today they are a phone maker that also makes computers. Once Apple Computers became just Apple, the writing was on the wall. So basically I'm saying their corporate mentality is eroding their credibility with me, and is even evidenced in some sloppy updates.Īll in all there's no cut and dried answer to which is best despite one's individual thinking, be you a math major or an English major Next you know we'll all have implanted microchips.Īgree 100% with this. I even use Lil'Snitch now to keep them out of my hair as much as possible. Not so much straying from the logical, but in the ways they try to integrate themselves in my personal space. In the last five years though, since Steve Jobs passed on, I've found more and more I don't like about Mac OS. They even played the game of only giving lip service to software piracy until they'd sunk much of their competition.īe all that as it may, the old pun is that where UNIX was built by mathematics majors, Windows was built by English majors (as many exceptions to the rules as rules).Įven back with NeXT Steve Jobs stuck with the UNIX model, and to this day Mac OS is UNIX compliant.

UNIX was built on a logical structure, and the variants that were developed from it were held to that standard.įast forward to the mid '80's and Windows came out in a monopolistic corporate environment.

By late in the '70s we were working with a UNIX base which made the effort easier. In the '60's we were writing OSs for each family of hardware with considerations for model.
