I think it's more clear now than ever after yesterday's keynote that down the line, iOS and macOS will be merged. We are going to the same SoC architecture. Apple's long term roadmap is definitely going down that path. Exciting times ahead.

    Could we please now have a macOS that can uses direct touch from a touch screen, instead of just an after-thought touch bar? Pretty please?

    Just say that you "invented" that concept and make a big show around that, it's not like that strategy didn't work for every other "innovation".

    I also find fitting that you named your OS in such a way that abbreviates to "macOS BS". That's really a "in your face" move for the RT version of macOS, but very aptly named if we look into the Windows RT history.

        LilPhone, 23 Jun 2020Of course you're saying this because you've never tried one... moreIt's not ios, you can easily uninstall the pre installed antivirus app if you feel that it slows your system down
        Anyways windows defender is adequate for general day to day security

          Let's say windows is great because it's compatibility proven. & let's say Mac will be great too from now on, considering these improvements. Big Sur & shift to self- designed ARM processor.

            Android Master, 23 Jun 2020Cleaner Ui? LOL ever heard of customizing Windows accordin... moreOf course you're saying this because you've never tried one.
            Make no mistake though, I own both a Windows and a Mac so I can spot the difference.

            Your troll is low-class. Enjoy the "premium ecosystem" by being spied on useless bloatware especially antivirus software that slows down your computer. Cortana is complete junk and who said that multitasking is smooth in Windows? Edge browser is often laggy (I used a mid-range office Acer Aspire laptop).

            There are only few Windows PC with no preinstalled bloatware.

            CCP or India really do wonders for you.

All supercomputers today run on Linux. Disney, Dreamworks, Pixar, all of the popular animation studios use Linux for animating and rendering their movies.

              Windows is only good as a gaming OS.

                LilPhone, 23 Jun 2020Except the fact that Windows OS can be used for gaming. Mac... moreCleaner Ui?
                LOL ever heard of customizing Windows according to your requirements?
                Oops you don't get that on Mac OS do you? Enjoy same old boring design.

                Better system performance?
                In what? How are you going to determine system performance when system can't even push to its full capabilities coz lack of heavy duty application support.
                Half the job can't be done on MacOS since it has no wide support like Windows.
                There aren't even many softwares that can be run on Mac OS.
                It's accustomed to lagging behind for years now.

                Windows meets requirement of every kind of user.
                MacOS is simply nothing but ToyOS.
                Even kids prefer Windows as it has proper games support.

                  So glad to be part of the premium Ecosystem of Windows that offers consumers a buffet of choices to choose from.

                    Windows is light years ahead in every department.
                    Functionality alone gives Windows the lead by a huge margin.

                      This is not Android vs iOS. Yes I can say that iOS is restrictive and a bit painful to use at times.

Altho i agree w10 is better, Mac is just more stable and proven to work well with creator apps such as video editing or photo manipulation. Devs are using Mac for the sake of iOS apps can't be build on windows. And it really succccc
