Although so far I'm mostly happy with Apple products. Happier than with any Windows laptops.
(But damn if I encounter a bug or an issue. Just reporting those have made hordes of Apple fans attack me, in response to a standard technical bug report.)
Youngsters have to understand that Apple's quality was so bad, not only did they fail to deliver in a few products with industry partners, the teams weren't even capable of writing a new operating system.
Windows is also equally away from "3x Developers!" cry days.
That sounds right.

Copeland... (That was the actual name of supposed future Apple's OS 30 years ago, sounds kinda different with 2026 perspective.)

I remember that period. System 7,8,8.6 were all so fragile compared to Windows. No progressive crashes... just sudden lockups.
And endless beach ball of death, where the mouse would still move the ball, but nothing else would be happening.
The beachball arrived with OS X. On Classic MacOS it was a watchface.
Very true. People that manage to be nostalgic about system 8 or 9 mystify me.
Or Windows 7 for that matter.
Windows 7 was the best OS ever made. I had one installation running without any slowdowns or rot for more than 9 years.
