The NYT has a
glowing
article about the Panther upgrade to Mac OS X.
Mac OS X isn't just free of viruses; it's also free
from copy protection, "activation" (a Windows XP feature that
transmits information about your PC back to Microsoft), and pop-up
messages that nag you to sign up for some Microsoft database or clean
up your icons. When you use Mac OS X, you feel like it's yours; when
you use Windows, you feel as though you're using someone else's toys,
and Mrs. Microsoft keeps peeking in on you.
I'm delighted to see this competition to Microsoft's increasingly
consumer-hostile system. If I had the
hardware, I'd definitely spend a month trying to work from OS X.
But Mac OS still represents the same 3-4% in
Google
Zeitgeist it has since
June
2001. All my cool friends may use Macs but it seems the
masses don't.
