Where's the system root on a sane OS?
/
It's an illogical layout akin to sorting a bunch of photos by the month you took them, then year, then day. It makes no sense.

>Any example of this?
Why do you need an example? It's common knowledge that Windows tries to be absurdly backwards compatible.
What other OS still tries to support programs from the 90s?

>Like... what exactly?
Since Microsoft is so set on maintaining backwards compatibility it means they can't do things like get rid of the registry or change their administrative UIs to be less of a cluster fuck. It also makes it so the Windows permission system is forever skewed toward enterprise nonsense instead of having something that works well for one or two users.

>Why don't you try it out so you really know if it have it or not, "probably" doesn't cut it.
Why would I try it out? Even if it did have cron that wouldn't stop windows from being terrible.

>Name one example in wich you NEED to use the registry to get the work done anon.
New install/New computer. If I want to transfer all of my applications, their settings, etc. over on Linux or OS X it's simple. On windows it's impossible because most of that shit is stored in your registry and if you try just simply copying the registry over to a new install things WILL fuck up.

>Name one, you can use cmd, powershell and bash now for everything.
Installing and updating my applications without having to use a browser.

>You're telling me that the ui has any impact on how you get the job done?
Yes. Are you retarded? How wouldn't the UI affect nearly everything you're doing on a modern graphical OS?

>You can drag and drop whatever you want in there
And it doesn't work the way you'd expect. If I remember right it goes into a tree view.

>You can, i just dit it on firefox
You can't do it on other applications. Go try it with a PS2 ISO patcher

It wasn't even obvious how to create a new workspace. The windows are all shown in a grid patten instead of being placed roughly where they were on the screen before being zoomed out into an overview. Apple and Linux have had this kind of feature since 2003, there's no excuse for Windows to fuck it up in 2016.

It's actually funny, all those arguments that are completely irrelevant for almost two decades.

Those guy probably looked at Macs when they were kids (assuming they aren't right now) and saw it can't run games.

It's like a Pavlovian reflex, someone mentions OSX, Mac, or Apple, and they feel an extremely unpleasant sensation.

Mac will never become as popular as Windows, let alone MORE popular than Windows, haha.

Truth is, people don't want to pay the price of a small car for their computer. Also, people don't want to be limited in what they can do with their computer either. Which is why Mac will always fail.

PC users (both Linux and Windows) have the full flexibility of hardware and software CHOICE. They can choose what components they put in their computers, and they can choose from literally hundreds of thousands of different FREE open source software to use, it's heaven.

Add together the fact that you can build a PC that's more powerful than a Mac for less than half the price, and have the ability to play games, and still do everything a Mac can do, and better, you wonder why Apple still exists.

And what exactly is wrong with it? Go ahead, you must have some great examples if you keep repeating this. Then again EVERY time I ask I just get told "I'm wrong" without an answers.
I bet you think pic related was great UI design. Or how about when Apple thought it was a great idea to arbitrarily use Brushed Metal or dark windows when nearly everything else was just a grey gradient?
Don't forget non-UI functionality such as spotlight being basically useless, finder's lack of tabs, lack of quick look (both for files and for text), file selection dialogs that couldn't show thumbnails, lack of high PPI, etc.

Yosemite was buggy, but El Capitan is better than every other release of OS X outside of nostalgia.

Before 10.10 it was only useful for searching. If you are doing things right you'd have your files organized anyway.

It's still an improvement over old OS X and something MANY people find useful.

I guess 10.5 was the first.

10.4 and 10.5 had this. I remember having to use a finder window with coverflow just to see my damn reaction images.
