Why I left Mac for Windows: Apple has given up
I used to be hardcore windows guy...Then 10 years ago I got a mac.  I never went back..But what am I saving money for right now?  To build a nice PC again.Mostly because of the exact reasons in the article.I have a fondness for apple... but they have definitely lost their way.  First, they were a computer company driven by a man who loved computers ("first" here is the Jobs return era) ... then they became a Computer company who also made a phone.  Then they became a computer company who also made a phone and a tablet.  Then they became a phone company who also made computers and tablets.Now they are a phone company who presides over the death throws of an amazing operating system that is going to be killed off to make it more like a phone.  The new "features" every cycle are more "lets put this phone feature on the desktop"It makes me sad, as a mac fan.  The hardware is getting worse.  The decisions are getting dumber every time.  I wont buy a laptop without a magsafe or similar connection, i have kids and animals, and the magsafe has saved a laptop more than once.. to remove something that was as core and identifiable a part of their computers was just a stupid move and served no purpose.They don't listen to the industry or the consumers anymore, they stick their fingers in their ears and pretend to know best.Jobs was hardheaded, but reasonable.  Cook is trying to emulate the hardheadedness but fails to recognize the reasonability needed to balance that.
