I was talking with Chris about this base on: 1) Mountain Lion now tries to do automatic tasks, like download stuff when the lid is closed and you're on battery power, thus killing your battery without you knowing. And now with Gatekeeper complaining about anything you try and install-- and wt–, iCloud is just amazingly bad. Docs in iCloud now automatically 'sync' but if you open a Mac doc created on on an iPad, it will lose formatting, then SYNC, and kill all the formatting from the original-- and amazingly there's no cloud backup (like DropBox does). And nope, there's still no "Save As.." because Apple believes they know better than us when to invoke that command. All in all-- stuff to be wary of.
2) Win 8 is having similar huge issues. They're trying to 'out think' the users creating all sorts of problems. Reviews for Windows 8 seems to be more bad than good. 3) We're starting to 'remember' the 'last great version' of programs like Photoshop, etc.. So, I'm wondering... how long before we quit upgrading everything and start sticking to a single legacy OS and/or programs? For instance, even though I own the latest version of Flash, I still enjoy using Flash 5 for diagramming, wireframing and creating 'blueprint roadmaps.' At what point do the OS'es get so much in the users way that they're no longer good for us legacy power users? Just wondering... not predicting.. yet. -- Chipp Walters CEO, Altuit, Inc. _______________________________________________ use-livecode mailing list use-livecode@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-livecode
