I still remember the first day that I saw Steve Jobs's new "lickable" operating system, and I knew there wasn't any point to buying Macintosh any more. Switched over to using PC clones exclusively after that. Oh how I despised MacOS X. It was unreasonable of me; whatever fondness I had for the System 7 days, I had to admit that internally it was a horrifying mess. But I never understood why it was considered impossible (or impolitic) to make a new Macintosh operating system that preserved the user-experience of the old system, but with better inwards. Instead I felt like I was being force-fed Steve Jobs's shiny aqua-blue trash, and I hated it.
