You may prefer a locked down system that is designed to prevent unsophisticated users from shooting themselves in the foot, but that was NEVER what the Mac was about. Far too many beautiful utils that the masses have no use for, so they will never see an update (not to mention most would require a complete rewrite from the ground up due to Apple breaking its promises about 64-bit Carbon frameworks). And BTW, I have an Internet facing server running SL, and short of Apple abandoning SSL support for their own web browser, we have had zero issues.Īnd throwing away the 32-bit kernel later this year is simply not an option. interapplication communication (firing the man responsible for it 2+ years ago).īTW, the last two versions of the OS had massive, laughable security flaws when rolled out so it ain't always a good idea to stay current.
because the file system sucks, there is no replacement for quick indexing (making volume wide file searches like molasses), they moved from AFP to SMB (but SMB1 support is broken), they are more and more locking down the ONE THING that has made the Mac stand out for the last 30 years.
