One month after the release of Apple’s new OS, I feel it’s time to publish my humble opinion. I’ve been on the Apple train since Tiger but had come in touch with the OS’es since OS9.

I always thought that Lion would be OSXI (11), and not a sub of OSX. But still I figured the changes made to the OS would be as significant as the changes from 9 to X. Just because of the name, rather stupid of me, but I know that lots of Apple fans felt and thought the same way. Obviously they where not, OS9 to X was (although with the inevitable hiccups) revolutionary, Lion, was just an update for Snow Leopard (which was an update to Leopard).

I really had mixed feelings the first couple of days on Lion, and to be honest, I still don’t know how I feel. I don’t know what to recommend to my fellow Apple users. Until this day, I recommended a no-go to my low level experienced friends, and I did the same to my mid level friends (I don’t know any high level users). People who never try anything, don”t ever fix something, still have the same dock, widgets and Sidebar items, and call me whenever Apple offers updates, those are low level users, People who have tried some stuff, know where to find the users Library and the Root Library, use some Terminal, and have edited some Plists, I call Mid Level users. Login in as Root, editing or creating boot .plist files, fixing grey screens and repairing or modding their hardware (successfully) I call High end users.

A dear friend of mine posted a funny picture on his Facebook the other day and this picture reminded me exactly how I feel about video games from the past to the present.

All right, I really, really, reeeeally need to get this of my chest. I normally do not really participate in this classic discussion, mostly because there is no point. Everybody who knows something about computers has an opinion in this field, and whether it’s a valid one or not, it’s really hard to convince one side of anything good about the other side. I’m a Mac user for 5-6 years now, and I love my Machine, I will never disrespect anybody with a Windows computer. Not because I feel sorry for them, but because it’s their choice. At the office i’m forced to use a Windows Machine, and we joke about this all the time, but I don”t have the techno-babble-skills to win from those geeks (believe it or not, i’m the designer, the other guys have a lot more IT-fu then I will ever have.), so that explains where this frustration comes from...

I’ve been using the Revolution for over 3 years now at home, and the Performance for a year at the office. An both have their pro’s and con’s. Although the Performance is supposed to be the Revolutions successor (and Logitech does now only sell the Performance instead of the Revolution) they do have some serious differences.

I also have some experience with the Apple Mighty mouse and the new Magic mouse and might write a review about those to, but both MX mice are my main clickers and are, in my opinion both superior.

The first thing I must say is that I use both mice on different OS’es. I use the Revolution on my Mac in OSX and the Performance in Windows 7. So software differences may be because of that.
