Strange Geeky Thoughts

The longer I own a Mac and use OS X, the harder it is for me to remember why I suffered through several releases of Windows. I mean, I know why.. back then MacOS was a joke. But now, the tables are turned and I just don’t understand how people who use Windows products get to sleep at night. Since I’ve delved into OS X I haven’t worried about viruses, trojans, mass data loss, corrupted partition tables, defragmenting my drives… you know.. the list goes on and on. Furthermore, I can’t remember why I ever defended Wintel.

The funny thing is, the more I use a Mac, the more I pity PC users. I think this is kinda the same for Linux/Unix users too. You just want to pat the Windows users on the head and tell them that everything is going to be alright while deep inside you know it will never be for them. *sigh* The only thing worse than the poor sheep that are scared of getting out of their Windows rut are the Windows freaks who try to talk down to everyone who doesn’t use Windows while they don’t realize that without Apple and Unix, there would never have been DOS or Windows in the first place. *sigh*

Why I’d like to kick Microsoft where it hurts… repeatedly.

If you didn’t know it by now, the cowards at Microsoft have decided to drop development of Microsoft’s Internet Explorer for the Mac platform. I am grateful that I no longer have to worry how badly IE is going to mess up my next design project, but I’m also pissed off that the giant spineless wonder decided to run at the first sight of competition. Yeah I said it.. Safari scared MS and they packed up their bag of tricks and headed for higher ground. BAH! I was looking forward to a longer battle between IE and Safari for the Mac desktop, but I guess that’ll never happen. I just want to know how many of you people actually still use IE. Isin’t the consensus that it’s not standards compliant, therefore it’s almost impossible to code for both IE and another browser without one of them barfing on your design. Furthermore, there is no tabbed browsing. How do you friggin browse the web without tabs? I, personally, would shoot myself if I was forced to go back to a PC, much less have to use IE as my browser. *GAH* Tell me what browsers you have gotten to love.
