I suspect the only thing better than the 10.1 revision to the long, long, long awaited next generation Mac OS, is what we'll see from Apple in the next 12 months. What they've done up until now has been remarkably bold: they have gambled their installed base for the sake of their future. OK, so they had no choice. After all, slowing market share hemorrage does little to guarantee the future of the company. But truly, the creation of this operating system is beyond gutsy. After all, this isn't a company that initially dealt well with the open source culture, with troublesome software developers, with pissed off consumers. I'd love for Apple to be free to innovate outside of the market, to be the XEROX PARC sort of techno-wizzes who so inspired Steve in the late 1970Õs. The creation of superior products does little to guarantee a profits, market share, or even the future of a corporation. With OS X Apple has struck a good balance: They released an amazingly stable, attractive, and powerful OS; they came in basically on schedule; they are developing a unified brand built around the possibilities of the Mac as the a part of our digital lifestyles. That sounds hokey. It sounds even more hokey when Steve stands there and talks about computers serving as tools that truly improve the way we live. With OS X they have married zealous techno-wizardry with the practical concerns of a profit driven company. This is a fine product with a fantastically positive future. It's light years ahead of OS 9 (and I do like OS 9, despite my better judgment). Yes, there are headaches here for some users. It's not an upgrade you can make without feeling it. But if youÕre comfortable with early adoption (and who are we kidding, this is still fairly early in the cycle for such a dramatically different operating system), the benefits far outweigh the pain. Good luck. Comment | Permalink | (Report this)
