1) A version of the UNIX operating system with Apple's Aqua GUI on top of it.
2) Proof that the
people at Apple couldn't hack it at creating their own
OS (evidenced by the supreme shittyness of OS 9 and earlier versions, which were inferior even to Windows 95), so they desperately turned to the powerful and respected UNIX to be their saving grace.
3) Oh, and they couldn't hack it with their own chips either, so they went and switched to the same Intel chips that consistently gave PC's the edge in performance for years.
4) An OS that is supposedly safer than
Windows... my foot. Mr. Proud to own a
mac 's passionate little flame message does little to refute what was said earlier. The bottom line is that Macintoshes make up some 2% of the personal
computer market share, so it's a matter of logistics rather than security. And don't give me that root password crap. Any
computer can be infected if someone puts enough effort into it. And here's some breaking news for you all: Systematic, a leading
computer security provider, reports that Mac OS X is actually less secure than Windows XP. Yeah. That's right.
Face it
Mac zealots, you know these to be true. Frankly, I pity you guys for wasting all that money on a product that costs more, runs much less software, is oversimplified, and requires you to spend a lot of money
time and again whenever a new version comes out. You have to at least give
Microsoft some credit for releasing service packs FOR FREE.
And, it's hilarious how you fanboys all preach the supposed greatness of Apple when they had to turn to outside technologies to make the holy Mac OS
X.
