OS X vs. Windows: One Observation
By Daniel Miessler on February 26th, 2005: Tagged as OS X | Technology
Something struck me the other day that I think most power-users with experience on both Windows and OS X would agree with. Windows gets better as you tweak the hell out of it. Power-users on that OS invariably add this skin, this mod, that hack, etc.
On OS X, however, following that same paradigm does little more than create a kludgy feel to the system. It’s as if an equilibrium exists with the OS, and trying to make “improvements” somehow disturbs that balance. The bonsai tree comes to mind, as does the word shibumi — both focusing on minimalization and simplicity.
It’s not that I think OS X is perfect — it’s quite not; it’s just that it feels more like a complete environment than Windows does. Windows feels like a rickety, modular contraption that needs to be patched up, have holes filled, and functionality added. OS X feels more like a self-contained product…it’s hard to describe.
I do still add a couple of things to my OS installs (LaunchBar for one), but it’s nothing like what I do to a Windows box when I first get a hold of it. With the latter, there’s like a whole list of tools and mods that needs to go on the box before it’s even considered usable. That’s not the case with OS X, and it’s worth noting.

One thing I would have to point out is that all Unix systems are known to get better the more you use them. While I will agree that OS X does not need the updates and stuff added like windows, windows does get slower with time. I have been running osx for 8 mo now and I have not even thought about reinstalling. This is something that I can not do on windows. Check my blog I am going to post more about this.

Rebecca wished there were something she could do, something she could say to ease the pain, to lessen the guilt, free she male orgasm but she knew there was nothing. Sara had to get past this on her own, in her own time. It was as if she was waiting for some event, as if some unknown milestone lay before her, beyond which she could finally find peace, finally put it all behind her and move on with her life. But watching her like this, bbw facesitting fetish year after year with no progress, Rebecca still strove to find a way to alleviate the guilt complex Sara built around herself.
