Why Apple Sucks

[Scott]

Well one of the largest problems is that these companies want their OS's out as fast as they can

get them.  This means they put there programmers on deadlines that are too tight to create efficient

code.  This passes the burden to the testers who are also on a tight deadline and aren't given enough time

to find all of the bugs.  They then add quick fix patches that just stop the small problems that are only signs

of a much larger issue. Then when they create a new OS they build it on top of the old OS code to get it out faster,

adding to the complexity without fixing the inefficient code; and they do this over and over.  An image comes

to mind of building a pyramid point down.

Plus there are the hackers, viruses, and security holes to take

into account.

First, here's the article.

I have some

thoughts about this, but it mostly concerns why there is no such thing as a perfect OS.
