0.5% development, 99.5% installation. We have a winner.



I adore Microsofts initiative to continuously deliver after Windows 10. My gut feeling tells me Linux distros will follow suit as there's no purpose (for the user) to do anything else. Chrome is the perfect example of auto-updating software. These days it's very rare for noticeable bugs to make it all the way to the browsee, and it just works.

Let's see how many years it will take for Apple to do the same. My guess is they won't head in any other direction until they're in free fall. And that might take a while, and since Android isn't stepping up, perhaps a newcomer is required.

Imagine that: a newcomer producing robust Linux-based operating systems for computers, phones and tablets and with a deep desire to please developers as well as end-users.

It's been said a million times before, but it's only now that I start understanding it: Apple after Jobs is just Android with a head start. My own addition to that is that Apple never cared much for its fan base/developers. The combination of those two does not bode well for Apple.
