The "Windows Continuum" is what I have wanted from a PDA / smart phone since the Newton. I really would love something I could carry with me and then dock to get the big screen experience. I do wish it was OS X (not iOS or at least not a locked iOS), but this is a step closer.
- rloc 11y agoMe too but my feeling is that Apple is putting more resources on iOS and is betting on it to gain more usage over Mac OS for most users. The release of the iPad pro is the most recent sign of that trend. The Mac app store is not that successful which is not very surprising as it requires devs to invest in a new app with a completely different set of competencies. iOS and the iPhone are Apple cash cow presently. That's why Microsoft strategy makes sense to me. They have a chance at least. We'll see.
- protomyth 11y agoYeah, I know its pretty over for OS X despite what Apple says. The quality of the "California" series has been horrible with networking, constant sandbox problems, and Finder errors that should have been caught on day 1 of testing. It just makes me queasy every time I have to open Console and look at all the errors scrolling by. I just hate not having a Terminal if I plug into a monitor. Or maybe I'm just bummed that I am going to end up learning Swift (I really don't like it) replace a language I enjoy (Objective-C). Won't be the first time I've programmed in something I dislike to get the results I want. I sometimes wonder if a Cocoa 2 evolution of the desktop to bring the Cocoa & Cocoa Touch back together, although I believe the Mac App Store is problematic for entirely different reasons.
