Why I left Mac for Windows: Apple has given up
&gt;<i>But recently, I realized I’d gotten tired of Apple’s attitude toward the desktop. The progress in macOS land has basically been dead since Yosemite, two years ago, and Apple’s updates to the platform have been incredibly small.</i><p>So, like creating a full blown new programming language (Swift)? Or a full new filesystem (AFS)? Integration of Cloud storage directly to the desktop? Siri on the desktop? Saving RAM through memory compression? Continuity to transfer work across desktop and mobile (and different desktops) seamlessly? All things added in the last few years, with few of them still ongoing.<p>Sure -- they&#x27;ve totally abandoned it &#x2F;s.<p>&gt;<i>Take a look at Sierra: the only feature of note is Siri, which is half-baked as it is, and the things that did get ported over from iOS are half-done too.</i><p>That&#x27;s hardly &quot;the only feature of note&quot;. But even so, I wouldn&#x27;t want Apple to continue to change much in OS X, except refining things.<p>&gt;<i>and so I was tempted away in early 2013 when Apple released its second-generation 15&quot; Retina MacBook Pro.</i><p>So, you&#x27;re merely 3 years of the platform, but have an opinion on how Apple &quot;pivoted its attention&quot; regarding OS released based on just a couple of OSes? Because I&#x27;ve been here since 10.2 and most releases weren&#x27;t about breakthrough features, but refinement and minor changes (often regressions).<p>If it discussed the state of Mac Pro and Mac Mini the post would actually have a leg to stand...
