OS News' review of Mac OS X last week certainly stirred up controversy, partially because some die hard Mac fans perceived that it was improper for an outsider (someone who is not an everyday Mac user) to me making broad criticisms after only a superficial introduction to the New operating system. Well, folks, that's why they call it a review. We thought that Apple's major new OS also deserved a road test, and there were two very important events in Mac OS X history just a few days ago that toppled the last major obstacle to making it ready for millions of Mac users to start using it as their everyday OS: the 10.1 release and the release of Microsoft Office X. Last week, I made the switch and started using Mac OS X as my everyday OS. Here's how it went:

in my opinion apple acts more or less the same way as microsoft and therefor I don't like them. do you remember the days of the cloning mac's ? soon after it started you could by mac's which are cheaper AND faster than the original. what have apple done, shutting down cloning and bying one of them. so in fact apple was not able to compete with hardware they invented and they produce for a longer time, then the new startups which had also to pay a license fee !!! for me that implies that apple is not able to produce fast hardware which you can pay, like other could do. the second reason is when a OS company wanted to produce an alternative OS for the mac-hardware they didn't give them the specs. i mean they would still sell the hardware at the same price, they lost only the software upgrade for the OS. for me only political reason, because why don't want a company to sell their product ? the 3rd reason they try the same way as microsoft to bind users with proprietary software like quicktime. I woudn't say anything if they give out the specs to write plugins for other OS's or they would provide players for other OS, of course they have players for windows. but there exists other OS's which you know. so, it's only my opinion of course but for me I don't like apple anymore and of course I wan't ever by one.
