But they still have this thing going where they give something a name and than chance it out of no reason.
I am feeling so Longhorn (I mean Vista).
Might as well abandon the current safari then. It can't be downloaded as a standalone and installed on older versions of Mac OS either.
I agree with a lot of what you say but look where Yosemite is coming from, Mavericks. I use it and its as stable and solid as it can get. Where does win10 come from? Win8 one of the worst/most hated release in computer history.
Apple's problem is they want to release innovation every year, 2 to 3 times and WOW people. Microsoft will take anywhere from 2-4 years to release a significant upgrade.
So your argument is Windows 10 isn't stable because people don't like the looks of Windows 8?
Well Windows 8 is stable and people do find Yosemite ugly. So where do we go from here?
Ok but I'm not sure where you're going with this. They're not looking to overtake Microsoft in this area. They seem to be doing well enough.
It will look less attractive when you'll see its app store and hi-DPI.I hope Apple wow me with as much OS X news at WWDC. Windows 10 looks really attractive right now.
Though tbh all Apple have to do is reduce OS X's footprint, and I'll be happily remain in the Mac camp.
App store, maybe. HiDPI? SP 3 has an amazing looking screen. :\

What can they say?
Don't worry - the moment of madness past when someone gently reminded me "It won't be as simply as Microsoft are making out." Also, unless I was to custom build a desktop PC, I'd have to buy a POS Dell or HP and wade through crap from hardware vendors. I want a laptop, and I want it to be a Mac.

I see this a lot. We have the Windows logo, the Linux logo, so why don't we also have the OS X logo?

Because Macs are more synonymous with the Apple logo than the OS X logo?
The point is MS looks impressive now because it made a huge improvement in Win10, because with Win8 you could improve on a lot. With Mavericks, its very hard to innovate over an already extremely well and stable OS.
I'm now running Win10 on my main computer, so I can finally start making some comparisons.
Seems I was wrong about the font rendering. It looks better downstairs, but almost exactly the same up here on my good monitor. I fired up IE and Spartan, and put them side by side to compare and contrast, and they look nearly the same.
What? Windows 8 had a lot of issues, but the system performance and stability wasn't on the list.
Yeah. The only problem people had with Win8 was it's goofy UI. The underlying OS itself was about the fastest, smoothest, and most reliable Windows ever released.
I will just have to disagree with you. Apple can't seem to get some of the fundamentals right. Two of my three Macs continue to change names under 10.10.3 and OS X can't seem to get out of my way by performing housekeeping tasks while I'm using the computer. These are just a couple examples of things that are not a problem in Windows. To stay a bit more on topic, some sites somehow manage to crash Safari, an issue I've never had in the last few years with IE.
I think there are massive improvements that could be made to either OS. Each have different weaknesses but there is room for improvement nonetheless.
Yup. Other than the occasional UI goofup, mostly revolving around the new Start menu, it's all pretty smooth.
But then again I'd expect it to be, considering what it's built on top of.
Mr. Buzzcut said:
This is the flat out truth. I still think OSX has a better UI overall, and it's font rendering FAR superior to Windows. But it's not like it pales in comparison across the board.
These days, I'd say that choosing between one or the other is more a matter of preference and style than a concern for stability. Other than games, both of them run roughly the same programs at roughly the same speed with roughly as many crashes.
The thing is when Steve Jobs left the company it was almost the perfect company with the most successful products and made them go from bankruptcy to the richest company in the world. Steve Ballmer is so bad they had to retire him, everyone was happy that they did, and everyone complained about the product line in MS at that time and hence MS can improve a lot. This is why it looks "innovative"

That's disappointing. I really hate the thin font rendering in Windows and don't want to use a hack to make it more like OS X's.
