That's a good point. Overall, Mac OS X feels very complete and one whole, whereas Windows shows its many generations here and there, in an icon (e.g. most system tools' icons), in a never updated app (take Paint or Notepad for example)...
- litewulf 18y agoIronically, when Windows changes anything, people are up in arms. I remember people being up in arms about the XP control panel redesign. And the Vista control panel redesign. And with Windows 7, people are saying "it's about time!" UI is a fickle fickle mistress.
- unalone 18y agoYes. And Apple's made it a point to really nitpick at themselves. I remember loving Tiger when I used it last year for a month. Now I have Leopard on my MacBook, and Tiger seems incredibly worse than it - largely because it is. I'd love to hope that the things Snow Leopard improves on are things that outdate Leopard similarly.
