Maybe, but why would a developer compile in an inferior, potentially unstable environment such as Windows when they could be working in a rock solid UNIX environment?
No MAC OSX is just copycat of LINUX Unix.
Apples has not come up with anything except steal it, marking it and selling it for overprice.
The real core is----> Linux-UNIX. I can guarantee you many of all the programmers on Apple use Linux in their free time. All features like “windows that fly” GUI-look, other features etc. comes from example LINUX KDE.
Everything has always come from LINUX. By the way LINUX are years ahead of Mac OSX Mavericks too.
If you like Mac use it! Please, I don’t want to hijack this thread! This forum is about Cubase and music not OS.
Have a great day, over and out!
Hi Fred, one of the first things i learnt about computers is that Apple in the early times had used their own system but the hardware was equivalent to Atari, which allowed better timing than on early PC’s.
ROFL, you might want to take a gander at where html5 came from … the only reason apple adopted early (notice the word adopted, not created) it was to get out from under the stranglehold flash had on the content serving world.
EDIT: and were NOT among the first to put it in their browser as standard support … see opera and others for that distinction.
It’s just “less choice, so a whole company can focus on a few hardware options.”
I prefer the openness and freedom of the PC platform, regardless of the Windows / Linux - question. I just use Windows because there is no Cubase and no VST plugins for Linux. If there were, Windows would be gone forever from this machine.
