These Days Not So Much...
I work on Windows about 45-55 hours a week, and mostly use Mac for personal stuff, at least for the past couple of year.
I can only suggest that you perhaps should try using more that one OS on a regular basis. This could help with expanding your horizons a bit.
It's great that you find Mac that stable. In my experience, it's been less stable than Windows. I have had to reboot my M2 MBA a whole lot more often than Windows (although to be fair, still not very often) because of some process slowing down the system even after I try to force quit it, or because it just decided to drop an external hard drive in the middle of me doing something. And of course there's a list of things that Mac just does worse (although in the latest beta they finally copied Windows' way of window management). Some of these things can be fixed via 3rd party tools. But not all. For example, I can take a mid range laptop and attach two 32" monitors and get sharp, crisp display of text and icons on both. Yet a $1,500 MBA can only use one monitor and is fuzzy as hell (yes, it's not a high PPI but this doesn't prevent sharp text in Windows).
As far as OS go, I would definitely not place Mac above W11. Both have their pros and cons.
Thing is, Apple have never said they'd deliver multi-user login, so if you're waiting for that then frankly more fool you.Still waiting for multi user login on the iPad and iPhone.
And remember when your home directory would be on your iPod and you could plug it into a computer and boot up with that?
Might as well wait for iOS 19.
People scare me more than the AI. Attempts at controlling the AI so far have made things so much worse.
You have somehow tried it already and decided you don't want it? Wow, you must work at Apple.
Probably the same thing they’ve been doing with the iOS, iPadOS and MacOS betas since the iOS and iPadOS 18 and the MacOS Sequoia betas first came out.
Those who want to test the most recent iOS and iPadOS 17 or MacOS Sonoma betas can and those who want to test the “latest and greatest” can be on the iOS and iPadOS 18 or MacOS Sequoia betas instead.
I’d imagine that next week we’ll see the final versions of iOS and iPadOS 17 plus the final version of MacOS Sonoma released (other than emergency security releases that get introduced as necessary) and with that we’ll see the 18.1 betas get released so testers can decide if they want to test iOS and iPadOS 18.1 or remain testing iOS and iPadOS 18.0 instead.
We may see the same with Sequoia as well. We might see Apple let MacOS testers choose between remaining on and testing MacOS 15.0 without Apple Intelligence or move to testing MacOS 15.1 with it.
You may have plenty of developers who couldn’t care less about Apple Intelligence at this point who’d prefer to focus on getting their apps ready for the iOS and iPadOS 18.0 or MacOS 15.0 releases who don’t really care much about Apple Intelligence until the beta label is gone.
Think of how few of the iPhones and iPads out there in the market today have the specs necessary to run it. it might not be the best use of developers time and money to go all in at this point given how few devices presently have the specs necessary to take advantage of it.
I know it wouldn’t be good for the bottom line, but Apple’s stress level would drop significantly if they got themselves out of this annual cycle. Take some time to get things right…give us a call when you’re ready. All of us nerds will be there with bells on.
I use Windows rougly the same amount of hours, and I use a M3 Max Mac. I have been using both systems for over a decade. I would definitely place Mac above W11, desipte agreeing both have pros and cons.
You cherry-picked a few things in which Windows is slightly better, while ignoring everything where macOS is head and shoulders above Windows 11.
Better to be delayed a month, than be released and it cause a of problems for millions.
This is exactly what I was trying to remember. And what kind of havoc will this cause later on down the road when 18 is officially released in September? I’m not sure how this works and what will happen.
Im just waiting for the "removal tool" for photos so i can remove crap instead of loading up adobe to do so....
I don’t think late features really bodes poorly for sales in the slightest. It’s probably BETTER for Apple to simmer the “day 1” sales they have difficulty fulfilling, and have a second wave later on. After all, the iPhone will sell with or without AI.
That said, I’m not sure AI really is going to attract that many customers. Most of us are not only growing tired of the AI-overhype, but average consumers have been actively turned off it by poor experiences with Meta, Gemini, etc.

I agree that it is good to check out the competition from time to time. That's what lead to me moving to Macs around 20 years ago. I've used PCs since DOS 2/Windows 2, and I have a Windows 11 machine still, it's my game machine. I moved house recently, and haven't set up the spare room yet, so my Windows 11 machine is sitting under a pile of boxes somewhere. Since I got my M3 Pro I haven't had a need for it, as the games I'm most interested in playing work perfectly on macOS, and run better on the M3 Pro.
I also agree that Apple needs to do better with the sharpness of text on external monitors, but that's the only area I have personally experienced where I prefer Windows in any way. In my personal experience, I place macOS WAY above Windows 11.
I’m basically just happy to have the RCS integration second actually communicate video and pictures that are better quality with most relatives
They effectively already do that, given how many features are being released in later dot updates.
