Actually, the scheme is a raging success, for exactly the reason you mentioned in your first paragraph. These companies aren't in business to make your life better, they're in business to squeeze every penny possible out of you for their shareholders.
A good way to do that is to sell you something multiple times because OMG Pirates!
Can we please have an end to the drivel about "I don't like it so it's totally shit"? And how does the selection of apps define the OS as a 'nearly' OS? Does that make iOS and Linux 'nearly' OSs too?
So you can't post pics of your breakfast with the official Instagram app (yet). The app selection is growing steadily.
Well, it IS thinner and lighter, so you could do the iPhone thing and get a plastic or rubber case in any colour you wanted... And I love that the AC after you is getting more downvotes for thinking that everyone's downvoting Nokia and WP8
Wonder if he was involved in the 'same but opposite' scheme that has been playing out with Blackberry... Where analysts and investors go on and on about how Blackberry is days from bankruptcy in an effort to drive the share price down so that they can buy their short-sold shares at rock-bottom prices.
While I do have to agree with you somewhat, I definitely feel like you win the coveted "Get off my lawn, you damn kids!" old fogey award.
All you needed was a few references to walking 10 miles to school uphill both ways in 6 feet of snow in your bare feet chased by rabid dogs for it to be perfect
And unlike other OSs, it's stupid easy to transfer your stuff from one Mac to the other. Just clone your drive to an external one or whatever, point a fresh copy of OS X at it, and after about half an hour you won't be able to tell the difference between your new Mac and the old one.
Pretty obvious you don't know much about other OSs then, because you can do that with pretty much any of them.
