Another argument to be made here is that Apple can argue that if you are going to have to "learn" a new OS anyway, why not "learn" OS X? I am very skeptical that the release of Windows 7 (as good as it might be) will slow the market gains Apple has seen.
- tomjen2 17y agoThe gap between XP and OS X is properly larger than the gap between XP and Windows 7. I have seen how developers are treated on the IPhone, are Mac developers treated any better?
- unalone 17y agoYou're talking two entirely separate ballparks. On the Mac, Apple has no ability to block products from release. Furthermore, the environment of OS X seems to be a positive reenforcement for developers, because I've seen more beautiful software here than I see anywhere else. Hell, I can't think off the top of my head if I've ever seen an elegant minimalist interface on another operating system. Closest I can think of is the Ribbon system on Microsoft Office, which they unfortunately ruined in the transition to OS X.
