- radley 12y ago10.6 came out in the infancy of iOS (summer '09). iOS sales weren't so astronomical as they are now. 10.6 was the last effective OSX update, with 10.9 being the start of the great downfall.
- chaostheory 12y agoI'm really hoping that the next release is actually a "No New Features" release. The limitations in upgrading the hardware resources for stuff like iMac and the Macbooks are fine when you have a really efficient OS, but it's really horrible when you have a resource hog in terms of memory. I'm glad they addressed it in 10.10.3 but still, the only real option before that was getting a MacPro and there's no way I'm shelling out close to $4k for something that runs OSX smoothly again. In the end I had to ebay an old gen Mac Pro and upgrade that which really shouldn't be the case. There should be something in between an iMac and Mac Pro.
