The myth and reality of Mac OS X Snow Leopard
- latexr 3y ago> When people wistfully proclaim that they wish for the next major macOS version to be a "Snow Leopard update", they're wishing for the wrong thing. No major update will solve Apple's quality issues. When I wish for a “Snow Leopard update”¹ I’m not saying I believe every bug would be fixed by the time it is out. What a Snow release means is commitment to making that release focused on bug fixing. Software has bugs, we all get that. But we also know those bugs can be fixed with time, which Apple engineers currently don’t have because they’re busy shipping new features. A wish for a Snow release is a wish for what the author suggests: > a break of 23 months, or more, from computing disruption I don’t care whether they do it by skipping a release or by doing one to save face on the annual schedule. But I do believe the latter is more likely. ¹ Which conveniently has a “Snow” modifier which can be applied to any release, e.g. “Snow Sonoma”.
