Comments on: Windows 7: The Search for Dock http://macenstein.com/default/2008/05/windows-7-the-search-for-dock/ Mac news and rumors dug up on the web and sewn into and unholy monster Sat, 11 Feb 2012 07:34:32 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.2.1 By: Troy F. http://macenstein.com/default/2008/05/windows-7-the-search-for-dock/comment-page-1/#comment-186711 Troy F. Tue, 28 Jul 2009 22:47:54 +0000 http://macenstein.com/default/?p=1390#comment-186711 It's true, DOS is still at the very heart of ALL versions of Windoze, and those ads with the little kids using Windoze to "be creative" are tacky and shameless - they have sunk to a new low with the dock rip-off of an elegant, stable, and innovative OS like Mac OS X. I know of no creative person myself who uses a PC box running Vista or XP, they all use OS X to get real work done, this is why we Mac users don't really care about playing games WE USE OUR MACs TO CREATE. Finally, i foresee Windoze 6.5 becoming an even bigger failure than Hasta-la-Vista. Have you ever heard of "upgrades" going in the opposite direction ? from Vista back to XP ? but Best Buy offers this as a service !! Now, that's really speaks volumes.

Win2k, XP, 2k3, Vista, 7, are not MS-DOS based. I have nothing against Macs at all, just Mac Fanboi's. I recommend you read some history on Apple to see that they "ripped off" pretty much everything they have from someone else. Serious power-users like myself turn off all of this type of frilly UI junk anyway. If Macs were so good, then why do they remain way below PCs for market-share. I can build a high-end PC that has excellent performance, is very stable, and can support all of the peripherals and software I need for a significantly lower price. Computers are simply tools to get our work done, quit trying to turn the Mac into a golden calf. :-p @Pete: nice unbiased post there… :-/

They all just put stuff together and built on what existed. Microsoft wrote their operating system from the ground up. Apple took a unix variant and put it together nicely with a great interface. Multitouch, spaces, timemachine were open source /open domain technologies - just apple saw them and put their name on them. Bonjour is a nice protocol tho I'll grant them that. In my mind Apple is now becoming what microsoft was - and seriously ripping people off. People worship apple and diss microsoft like jerks. They are both guilty of trying to patent the world.

Microsoft Windows (all versions) is a dinosaur and needs to be completely thrown out. All they are doing is dressing it up, putting lipstick on a pig if you will. The underlying code is still MS-DOS for cripe sakes!!!!! OS X is a whole new approach. Apple had the guts to throw everything out the window and start over. Gates has too much at stake to ever take that kind of gamble. Windows will always be a day late and a dollar short, and PC users will always be held hostage to the tactics of MS!

Until then Apple has already moved on to something completely more impressive and M$ will be left behind again with their shitty little clone. Seriously, i thought M$ wanted to finally improve and radically change some things about their Windows philosophy. Seems not. Same bullshit again. Ahahahahahahahaha!!!
