OS X El Capitan : What a good news for rMB !

So someone seeing that Microsoft is finally doing the right thing and giving users what they want is reason to say "let's give Apple a pass" ??? We've given them many many passes. Sorry I am not a kool-aid drinking, everything-apple-does-is-golden-praising kind of person. I'm realistic. Apple is eating the dust of Windows. To have an OS that can run well on a tablet or a desktop is a big feat, and MSFT is doing it really well, and based on my experience thus far with the Win 10 preview, they're continuing to pull ahead of Apple.

So I guess I could just say everything is great with Apple's OS X, or I could provide realistic opinions from a user who doesn't feel like he's seen a nice update in YEARS. So if I sound like my posts are negative, I could say yours are delusional if you think OS X has done anything in 5 years besides minor tweaks, cosmetic features, and the bare minimum in adding a couple niche features.

Mavericks vs Yosemite visual changes. OMG, yeah, such huge changes, I can barely contain my excitement.... View attachment 561880

Nobody is saying Microsoft is not doing the right things. But your characterization of OS X changes as minor cosmetic changes is simply delusional. Because the docks don't look different enough is the basis of your arguments?

Really, why are you here? I've seen nothing but negative posts by you about the MacBook and Apple. If I was this unhappy about something I would not waste my time and others on the drivel you continue to post here.

I guess I should just shut up and be thankful that Apple was willing to take my money. Thanks!

Look at OS X from 2005. Look at it today. Now look at an MP3 player from 2005 and then today. Now look at the OSD on your TV in 2005 and look at it today. Look at your car interior and exterior in 2005 and today. Now back to OS X and it looks pretty much the same.

I don't understand why people defend Apple's stagnation. Especially since apple has historically been top of its game when it comes to new and exciting things. Now we sit back and watch everyone else get the cool toys and say "when can we play in the sand box?"

So what should they do? Force a ****** touch screen UX onto a desktop OS?
