Changes a number of traditional Mac OS X processes
Incompatible with PowerPC apps
No support for old PowerPCplatform apps. Distractingly cute interface on calendar and address book.
Most of the iPadlike gestures don't translate eloquently to the desktop. Our brains aren't prepared to flip the script on scrolling. New Launchpad feature is confusing on Macs with larger screens. Mission Control is ugly
Bring back Exposé
End of Rosetta supportSome program incompatibilitySnow Leopard required for installation
No longer supports PowerPC software
Multi-touch gestures alienate traditional mouse users
Abstract: Well, there we have it as the latest Apple Mac OS X vs. Ubuntu Linux benchmarks. Ubuntu 12.10 appears to regress when it comes to the disk performance, the OpenGL performance results for Intel Sandy Bridge graphics are mixed depending upon the test, a...
When I first laid eyes on the notion that Mac OS X Lion would be like iOS for desktop, I was majorly hesitant. I’m not the biggest fan of iOS, it being a system I find slightly small and limited compared to the capabilities I know my MacBook Pro here ...
Most of you probably still do not care about Mac OS X but with seeing some of the early news about Windows 8 it is clear that Microsoft (at least in some respects) is attempting to mimic the Apple model. And it is definitely a good model to follow (in ...
Abstract: Apple has finally unleashed OS X 10.7 Lion, the revamped operating system for the company's desktops and laptops. Lion is the latest in a string of major OS revisions released over the past 11 years, and this newest cat borrows some tricks from Apple's...
Abstract: Installing Lion is fairly straightforward, and kind of revolutionary, assuming you're already running an up-to-date version of Snow Leopard: just open the Mac App Store, hit buy, and watch it download. Some time later, depending on how fast you can move 3...

After a long period of relative stability on the Mac, Lion is a shock to the system. It's a radical revision, motivated in part by the vast influx of new Mac users coming to the platform from iOS, that makes the Mac a friendlier computer. Veteran Mac ...
Abstract: Apple hasn't exactly paid a ton of attention to Mac OS X since the iPhone came out. There, I said it. This was obvious even in the lead-up to Leopard in 2007, when Apple delayed that OS's release from a spring timeframe to October so that they could ...
Abstract: Mac OS X 10.7 was first shown to the public in October 2010. The presentation was understated, especially compared to the bold rhetoric that accompanied the launches of the iPhone ("Apple reinvents the phone") and the iPad ("a magical and revolutiona...

There's no doubt that Apple is on a roll with Mac sales, and it's not just the shiny and slim notebooks that have allowed the company to enjoy growth at the expense of many Windows laptop makers. It's how the software and hardware work together, such a...
