Now what kind of Mac fanboy would I be if I didn't give a great big shout out to OS X, the greatest desktop OS yet conceived, on its tenth anniversary?
Happy birthday my binary buddy, we've logged many hours together. You were born from the ashes of NeXTSTEP, and have morphed through almost all the big cats since 2001. Your sleek frame ran and danced around the edges of the field while your arch rival Windows chugged right down the middle in one bloated iteration after another. You brought style and class to something that was messy and ugly.
You probably have a year or two left, my friend, in your Lion suit, before your replacement OS 11 comes along...it will be strange and radically different with a touch-and-voice based interface...or something, we'll see. Whatever the peeps in Cupertino have up their sleeves, it will be epic.
But for now, run free and do what you do best, help us make cool stuff in style!
