Microsoft Should Develop "Windows OS X"

By Ben Stevens

ADVERTISEMENTS

Mac_v_pc_4 The problem with Microsoft Windows is that it is painfully out of date.  Randall Stross writes in The New York Times that what began as a thin veneer for older software code has had layer upon security plugs, bug fixes, etc. heaped upon it, and its inherent design deficiencies are now painfully visible.  Ouch!

By way of contrast, Mr. Stross believes that Mac OS X is a vastly superior operating system.  In fact, he said that "Windows seems to move an inch for every time that Mac OS X or Linux laps it."  He praised Apple's bold move back in 2001 when it introduced OS X, and he strongly suggest that Windows just completely start over from scratch right now to come up with its own "Windows OS X."

The article is a very interesting read, because it provides a good juxtaposition between the Mac way of getting things done and the Windows method of "same old same old."
