    Apple now need to take a hard look at Microsoft. Their latest offerings are faster, bigger, better designed, better looking and feature for feature kill the Apple product. When is mac notebook going to have a touch screen. Apple owned this space with ipad.

      Seriously? Have you seen what Microsoft is doing with Windows 10? Bigger, I'll grant you. Better looking is subjective. But better designed and feature for feature? Windows 10 is barely stable and one bad update away from being a train wreck.

        Maybe I'm not pushing it hard enough, but my Windows 10 machine seems pretty stable.

          Windows 8 was pretty stable on a lot of people's computers, too. So was Vista. I know people who swore by Windows Millennium.

          As someone who has done development in the Windows 10 environment, I cannot describe an operating system that breaks its own core functions after updates to be stable. If you want to run sysprep on a new build for mass deployment, make sure you don't allow upgrades first. Likewise an environment where quality control has regressed to the point that software only has to reach demo mode before it gets shipped.

          Microsoft may be getting bolder in its quest for new technologies and features, but sacrificing what little stability it had in the process isn't a smart move. It's no wonder they have to force businesses to abandon Windows 7 by ending support since developers know what unnecessary headaches are in store for them once they commit to upgrading.
