Star An Engineer's Thoughts on Mac OS X Tiger
Linked by Jean-Baptiste Quéru on Tue 29th Jun 2004 17:40 UTC
Mac OS X Let me make it clear. I'm not a fan of Apple. I think that their products are overhyped, overpriced and underperforming. If you're looking for a fair unbiased opinion, you're looking in the wrong place. You've been warned. So, I was at Steve Jobs' 2004 WWDC keynote yesterday, attempting to take pictures for OSNews (an amazingly hard task, by the way, which really explained why people pay big bucks for big lenses equipped with image stabilizers). UPDATE: Stop reading right there, I have rewritten & updated the article here.

Here we freakin' go. It simply isn't possible to write an article that complains about Mac and/or MacOS without hordes of people coming out to call you a "Mac hater." In the tech world, Mac users are notoriously overly loyal - almost cult-like - to their platform.

The fact is, OS X is incredible, but it's very much a work in progress and has issues just like Windows and Linux, and other hobby OSes like SkyOS and Skyllable. But criticism of the Mac will draw you a ridiculous flood of trolls.

I'm always interested in reviews that discuss the pitfalls of Macs, because any time you can't find any negative about something, it's often an indicator that something much bigger is wrong.
