(or perfection of?) pedestrian Corporate unvarnished-greed. (Remember, my query was on behalf of a knowledgeable user but not a deep-techno savvy one.)
I quite appreciate the nicety of your decision to swap platforms; the beauty too, of that decision for you (since you're er, ambi-OS-rous) is that (as I understand it) you can do the computing, produce photos from RAW--without (often? at-all?) exposing self to WIndows-preferring malware! at all. {so far.. I hasten to add; possessed of no illusions of OS X's invulnerability.] You just have to work a bit harder and soon there will be the profit to invest in Pro-grade OS X malware, I have no doubt.
Nice that 'SxS' actually fixed that-all; your case is well enough made in the comparo. I'm biased permanently against a Registry of mixed binary/ascii, and emotionally livid at the cutesy re-Namings of all functions/a mere contrariness of dumbed-down names: which never made their menus as logically obvious as, well OS X does.( Both are technically workable, but Redmond's very use of Language itself ... is an obstacle for me, while you can shrug-off the immaturity!)
My needs are pedestrian, though: a mere glance at the near-infinite Windows Knowledge Base (as covers n of their OS's of course) demonstrates the magnitude of these summaries of n+1000 bugs, glitches as earned an entry. I ƒeare that OS X shall experience a (1-x) magnification too (1 being M$ numbers ... as x rises)
I'll have a severe decision to make as Apple locks-down likely via soldered-in SMD components for miniaturization: then the [still.. 3 Years warranty? or less] will exactly describe the throw-away point of each purchase: resale of older units, unable to run the next insanely-great morphing, etc. will kill resale means of ameliorating new-purchase costs. New cars sales need old-car trade-in sales: doesn't work with techno-planned obsolete (not 'obsolescent')
I will Hate to further fatten A's already obscene profits (increased via their purchasing power, near monopolizing supplies of various critical items) in ~ 2 years when my '08 device won't be capable of running, likely beyond Mavericky. Yet for MY purposes: Snow L could suffice much longer, were it supported re the new malware etc.
Catch 22. In worst case I may have to capitulate to Win 11 or whatever, make a disk-image and just reload when it gets pwned, because I missed a patch for the nano-Root-Kit of a new day. Maybe I can snag a '10 iMac and delay this nasty decision. Or just read books?
