It's kind of ironic. Apple in a lot of ways, invented what we now know as windows. Microsoft actually use the ideas that apple used originally. Mind you, Apple didn't invent it either really. They technically got it from Xerox. LOL. So blame Xerox. The interesting thing about this, is that people are complaining about how different windows 8 is to Windows 7 and earlier. Because Microsoft didn't change very much in Windows for so long, So the change now has come as somewhat of a shock to some people. Especially those that have been using windows for some time. Of course, Apple has been changing continually, over a long period of time, making small changes here and there, so as not to make it such a jarring experience. Microsoft has made the mistake, of waiting too long before making a change to windows in a major way. Whereas Apple has done it slowly over about 10 years.
It's kind of amusing, to hear people talking about 32-bit and 64-bit Windows, and what software can run on one and what can't run on the other. Because, quite simply, Apple made the choice to go permanently 64-bit. Because of this, they don't tend to have this kind of problem. About the only thing that doesn't run now, Would be older apps designed for the old processes. So Apple have in fact made the jump to 64-bit completely, whereas windows is still again, a kind of half way measure, where you can do both. It would be so much simpler, if Microsoft would do the same. Make everything 64-bit, if you want support for anything else, you will have to use emulators, or an old computer. And in fact, from all the information we have got now, the next major version of windows, is going to do Exactly that. There will be no 32-bit version. And it's about time. LOL. All of our computers that we have bought for the last six years or more, minus the netbooks, are 64-bit capable. So there is no reason to hold back, and keep using 32-bit versions of windows. Of course, this was done for compatibility, with older programs. But what is being said now, is 99% of everything that is out there now, is either a 32-bit program, or a 64-bit program. There is little reason to stay in a 32-bit operating system from here on in.
