Ha, Macs. If I had to buy a computer right now it'd be a Mac to avoid Windows 8 (aka Windows greaaaat...)
There's a lot of that lately. Here's my perspective: I bought my first Mac 'in the first hundred days' in 1984. Finder v1.1.

I'm now at 10.6.8 and I'm reluctant to get current (although I probably will for the SMS from the desktop). Every time I launch Seamonkey, the OS says approximately "This is an application you downloaded from the Internet. Are you sure you want to?" I read that as "You are running software you didn't by from our app store, and we know it." This is moving toward the walled gardens of the iPhone/iPad/iTunes Store.

Of course I was upset when the OS started asking "Are you sure?" at Shutdown, just so Windows converts wouldn't freak out.
