Yikes, I hope it’s better than the dysfunctional dross that sits on my MacBookPro.
Slow and porky iPhoto, desperately buggy TextEdit, functions requiring multi-key access where one used to suffice – etc.
Ugh – never thought I might be looking at the Dark Side…
Take another look before you seriously consider leaping. Going to Windows – especially going back to Windows – is not something to consider lightly, even in jest.
Never forget why you left Windows in the first place.
I have to use windows at work. It keeps me remembering every single day…
Here here. Snow Leopard was a masterpiece, Lion is a crayon scribble in comparison
Snow Leopard was a buggy PoS sorry, fine with a single user but as soon as it was bound to a Domain, lotsa stuff broken.
Lion is a lot less broken and I’m admining about 500 SL machines. 🙂
me too, we must agree to differ
In my estimation, Snow Leopard is a 100. Lion is, at best, an 80. But never forget, DJ . . . Windows ANYTHING is a 50.
Think before you click–AND–before you revert to an antiquated, bullet-ridden, butt ugly OS.
You’re right of course (hang of head in shame) – and on the bright side, Apple might just bring back some functionality soon. Hope so anyway.
Got idea’s to make it better?
