 OK!

Tearing a page directly out of the Bill Gates' Book of Corporate Culture Creation - or perhaps it was the Jim Jones' one, no matter - Steve Jobs printed up a scores of T-shirts emblazoned with the slogan "style, not substance" and set his minions to work. Their mission, if they chose to accept it, was to dial up the eye-candy while systematically rebugging the software infrastructure. It was a punishing endeavour: writing bad software is easy, but writing software that runs like a gazelle but occasionally trips and falls and loses its memory, or collides in spectacular fashion with some unseen predator who devours it whole, lashes to limbs proved to be extremely difficult. Early efforts on test subjects also yielded poor results, with participants eager to throw their computer out of the nearest non-ground-floor opening but reluctant to visit ComputerLand for a replacement.

Activation[edit | edit source]

With growth of the internet and p2p, software piracy became rife with versions of MacOS such as Mac OS X: Pirate Edition that were stripped of its "New Versions" and VFI'd bugs. This had severe consequences for Apple, who no longer had control over what bugs a user was entitled to keep and/or remove. They responded by releasing its activation system, along with propriety adware in the guise of "must-have" software such as iMovie and iMessage, among others.

Reception[edit | edit source]

MacOS was met with positively horrible reception when it came out. Critics cited that nobody was able to hang on to their sanity, and thus were tossed into a loony bin upon catching a few glimpses of its incredible suckiness. Its security features were non-existant, and the reception was far from what could be considered praised by critics and users alike. MacOS has influenced software developers to create annoying security features that take up so much space and don't work, which is why there are so many insecure operating systems today. Steve Jobs is a fucking moron with an almighty ego!
