Going back to Snow Leopard, Lion worst OS experience ever

They are "the" power user doing video creation and editing. Do you think they are purposely screwing up their OS so that they can't even use it for the work they do, or maybe they are using Windows 7 secretly.

Wouldn't be unprecedented for Apple to use Microsoft software:

It would not be unprecedented for microsoft to use UNIX to run its Hotmail service, at the time, Windows servers couldn't handle the load. Apple is UNIX compliant by the way.

I'm sure you're right....It doesn't bother me one way or the other what platform any of these companies use....I merely posted the link to illustrate the point that it's not a good idea to assume everything Apple do uses Macs and OS X.

A myth mostly. Here's the case study for the migration :

5000 thousand servers is not something you just migrate over night. Frankly, I'm surprised they even attempted it after only 3 years of ownership of hotmail, that's a pretty short timeframe for such a migration effort (I see much longer migration projects around here for much simpler systems).

Enterprise computing does not work like consumer computing.

Well we all know Apple uses Samsung parts, which are competitors.

I don't know if I would call it mostly a myth. But I think it took around 7 years for turn over. Yes, I agree, it takes time to switch over.

Oh please, that article is about their cloud service. I was making a point about Apple using their own operating system. I'm sure you understood that.

Apple is not going to purposely screw up their own system that they develop and use with the software they create to run on it, that's silly for them. That's why I sarcastically said "maybe they are using Windows 7 to do their pro-creation since Lion (according to some on this forum) sucks.

Uh, you did not need to correct my english, I wrote the word right. I meant "THEE" Mr. non-english teacher.

I love how you can be depended on to miss my point utterly. If you're going to follow me around these forums, you could at least pay attention

And you know what Apple uses for everything....how?

OK, apologies....I didn't realize you'd slipped into using old English for some obscure reason

Well then, do you have any proof that "Windows couldn't handle the load" outside of rantings of a few in the open source community ? I was a big open source geek in those days (still am, just don't hang around much the community anymore) and frankly no one could ever provide proof of that when Microsoft purchased Hotmail. It was frankly just a case of having to plan things out and carry it out, which for such a system is an undertaking measured in years.

That's just how enterprise IT is.

Nice how your post always end up in personal insults and attacks and correcting people. You keep making it personal after just a couple of posts. You can't keep a civil conversation? No worries. There are others on here that can. I will no longer respond to anymore of your posts as I know exactly who and what I am dealing with. No wonder your posts keep getting rated down.

Guys back to the topic.

Guys back to the topic.

What topic ? This thread was ressurrected from 6 months ago. The topic long ago died.

Exactly; some users really like Lion while other done. That's about it.

Exactly "who and what" are you dealing with? Please tell me. And then after that, please do leave me alone on these forums.....I really don't like talking with you. Every time I've had dealings with you it's because you've quoted something I've said and replied with some obtuse remark. Not once have I ever begun a conversation with you. I have noticed this pattern repeat itself with you and other people though, do you not ever stop to consider that it might be something you have started? You seem to think these forums are for the exclusive purpose of saying how great everything is that Apple does, and that it's your job to attack any criticism.

Don't you tire of provoking people when they express an opinion that differs from yours, and then playing the victim when someone takes issue with your behaviour?

I couldn't care less about being voted down by you or your friends on here.....I feel pity for anyone that does care about such things.

End thread. Ceased being useful a long time ago.
