How come on this forum almost every topic about Windows swings to posts about Mac? But... Since we are now discussing the Mac OS... Tom, I read almost word for word what you have just asserted about Snow Leopard since long before OSX, going back to the early OS's many people assert that the previous but one or two OS was the perfect OS for them. Then we move on and eventually they are forgotten in the mysts of time. What you know IS often the best at the time, but hardware moves on and the OS has to evolve with the hardware. Personally I love the ease of use of the current OS and I am holding my breath for 10.8.3 which I will have very soon (24th?). Most of the dislike for up to date OS's relates to compatibility with existing software. Very understandable but that is really at the door of the software developers, they have access to the Beta versions well in advance and have a direct line to Apple and Microsoft, they have no real excuse for not keeping abreast of the OS's. How long have WE known about W8? Nikon and Adobe must have known long before we did and even if they didn't I can be pretty sure W9 will follow W8 so If I were a software dev I would be gearing up for W9 NOW not W8. The software dev's need to be proactive, NOT retrospective. The OS cycles are very predictable.

Bob- Even though SL was great, Mtn Lion has made Lion feel "normal" and really does have a ton more in it. I'm not one to upgrade day one with new OS's but once it's been bug fixed, there is really no reason not to - eventually you more or less have to, so why not get in the river and learn to swim

JK- Looks like you missed the window for a free SL copy - Apple has put it back in the Apple Store for $19 - you need SL to get the app store to get the Mtn Lion from the app store :>((( So now it's a $38 upgrade for you....

I had to look it up... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Obsessive–compulsive_disorder Quote: "Despite the irrational behaviour, OCD is sometimes associated with above-average intelligence.' That's OK then!

The reason why I have SL as my primary OS is that it gives me all I need and I dont have to hunt where stuff is as they put extra security on to stop the 'stupid users' from breaking their machines. My view is that if somebody wants to hack and break their Apple machine then they deserve to not be able to use it. And to have to pay to get it fixed. If a Windows user does the same then they get the pain of a rebuild from scratch. My rationale is simple in that Apple stuff is so much easier and more user friendly that if you have broken it then you deserve what you got. Windows stuff is so much more likely to break that I do feel sorry for people when it breaks.
