This guy may know OSX but he’s clueless in windows. Also keep in mind windows XP an obsolete OS still has more users.
Meh.
Running Yosemite, but have never like upgrading,ever. Only do it because I have to.
Is there any workaround that enables running PowerPC applications under Yosemite?
I think a performance-focused release would be a good thing. People always ask for new features, but the truth is that the features being added to all modern OS-es are relatively minor, because the major stuff has all been done. With an increasing mobile-focused landscape, trimming the fat is vital (assuming that work would trickle down to iOS). I would love it if Safari on my iPad Air could be a bit more responsive and render at speeds closer to the non-mobile platforms.
I have a Mac Mini G4 that is running in Mac OS X with Classic that lets me run HyperCard. It opens apps and files much faster than my 2009 Mac Pro with 2 4 core processors running from an SSD with 32 Gigs of Ram.
Windows 8 looks very good. Much better than any Apple OS. I like the Windows 8 GUI better than Windows 7. The problem is no start button....Microsoft made an stupid mistake by not including a start button for desktop and laptop users
So you download and install “Start 8” and you have your start button back. Works like a charm. http://www.stardock.com/products/start8/
I never use the Windows 8 so called apps and I bypass the apps tiles. All that stuff is for touch devices such as tablets and smartfones. When I boot up I go from log-on to desktop with ye old start button
The OS X I kept the longest until this week was the “snow leopard”, OS X 6. Kept that OS X because I did not want to take any chances with the newest OX X, which is Yosemite, which because to a lot of “bm” or bad-mouthing of it because of too many “issues” with it, I did not want to take a chance. But Apple also is no longer supporting that brand of OS X, the snow leopard, so I took the plunge.
Hardware that uses lead based solder tends to last much longer than the newer stuff with tighter dimensions between components on the boards and using tin based solders.
I still have the Mac Plus I bought used in 1991. I upgraded it to a whopping 4 MB of RAM. I also have a couple of SCSI hard drives for it, and one of my projects (back-burnered for years) is to find a way to set up System on the drive and connect the Plus to the Internet. I have an early-generation G3 Powerbook with both a serial port and Ethernet that I'm pretty sure I can set up as a gateway.
10.9.5 will be my os till I have no choice but to move to Yosemite. Staying a year or more behind the newest OSX flavor works well for me & my music studio.
