I’ve been in IT for years…. 20 odd if you’re counting and I’ve always been a big fan of the Microsoft Windows Operating System. Granted, some have been pretty dire, but I’ve gone through the motions with all of them to try and immerse myself in the Microsoft dream and to be fair I have enjoyed it…

That being said, over the years I have from time to time dipped my toe into what is known as… ‘The Dark Side’.

I’ve always thought of it as more of a standalone operating system. I’m not sure why, but many of the companies I’ve supported over the years have nearly always had Windows environments.

The odd Mac that sat off the network, wasn’t controlled by Active Directory and was generally left alone by all the IT bods that visited site.

This was mainly from fear of not actually knowing what the hell they were doing with it.

It’s that age-old thing. Once you’ve touched it, that’s it. You touched it last and therefore it’s your problem if it breaks again.

Over the years I’ve owned several Apple laptops and desktops and just seemed to have a fiddle, put it back in the box and that was that.

It never really clicked in my head what the fascination was with Apple… Just use Windows. It’s easier, right?

I’ve always been an iPhone and iPad user, they just work. So, what’s so different with the MacOS?

I factory reset my shiny Microsoft Surface laptop (which I loved) and decided that at 41 I now needed to finally see what all the fuss is about…

Not just have a tinker with it at home but actually work with it … day in day out to see if I could retrain my Microsoft brain to actually use it.

So, the new Mac arrived on a Tuesday morning, I made a start on running through the setup, and to be fair I have done this many times before so it didn’t take too long.

After about 20 mins I was done and logging into Office 365 via the web, pretty straight forward.

I decided I’d take the Mac with me on a little road trip and see how I got on with it whilst out and about.

So, I shut the lid and out I went.

I arrived at the customers site, sat down in the meeting room, opened the lid and pressed the power button.

After about 5 minutes of repeating this I finally got some message about a failed or corrupt operating system which was just what I wanted. Not.

So back in my bag it went, and I ended up taking notes with a pen and pad…

Now who does that in 2019?

On arrival back to the office I erased the disk and reloaded the operating system from the recovery partition and proceed to set it back up again. 20 mins later I was done and back working, I then proceeded to setup and install all the applications that I required, such as office 2016, antivirus, our Two-Factor Authentication product and various other bits and pieces which to be fair was pretty painless.

I then setup various other system preferences such as being able to unlock the device via my apple watch and finger print reader etc… Again all pretty easy.

Goodbye Utopia Mac Os X

Now the fun began. After years and years of working with Microsoft Office on a windows operating system I thought, how different can it be?

5 days in and I think I can live with this. I have learnt that despite the different interface, the use of completely different terminology and a wrath of other stuff, the Mac Operating System is alright.

It doesn’t take THAT much getting used to and if I’m honest it’s pretty simple. It’s quite intuitive to use and I actually like it.

Yep I said it.

It’s still early days but I’m determined to give it a good go. I’m sure along the way I will find things that I think: ‘how rubbish’ and I can honestly say that I’ve already found things that I thought…

‘Why don’t they do that in Windows?!’

Anyway, so that’s it… I have finally made the jump and at this stage I’m not going back.

Famous last words.

Mac Os Versions

After 15 years of providing Ars readers with deep insight into the internals of Apple’s desktop operating system, John Siracusa has announced that his OS X Yosemite review will be his last OS X review for Ars or for any other publication.

John has published a review for every major OS X revision stretching back to before the operating system's formal release, and his explorations into the Unix-y underpinnings of OS X are the main reason why I am writing this retrospective on a Mac today. His retirement post on Hypercritical states that in 1999 he was 'at the forefront of long-form nerd-centric tech writing,' and that’s absolutely spot-on. I still remember being absolutely mesmerized by his 6,000-word OS X Developer Preview 2 review in 1999, and I was in awe of how clearly it laid bare the still-developing internals of Mac OS X.

John’s reviews quickly became an unofficial but integral part of Apple’s OS X release cycle. To me and to countless others—millions, judging by each review’s statistics—Apple hadn’t really released a new version of OS X until Siracusa weighed in on it. A Siracusa OS X review was the ultimate 'one more thing,' a new OS X release started with Steve Jobs and ended with John Siracusa.

As a long-time Ars reader, it’s hard to articulate exactly how big an impact Siracusa’s OS X reviews had on me over the years. Not only can the man write, but he also has a strong and unique voice and style—one that he uses to wrap complex concepts up into easily understandable pieces, sprinkling humor in among the hard tech and helping the reader over the bumps. It’s a style I’ve purposefully tried to emulate, especially with product reviews at Ars. Siracusa’s style works.

And the actual content was amazing. 'Long form' doesn’t even begin to cover it—a Siracusa review could stretch to a CMS-breaking 30,000 words and beyond (we've even added a special section into the Ars CMS containing some Siracusa-specific feature requests). To put that length in some context, Stephen King’s The Gunslinger runs about 55,000 words—not that much longer than a solid Siracusa review. Each one is a deep well of insight, providing not just raw information and impressions but also context. Siracusa’s informed musings on the OS X Finder even made waves among developers and managers at Cupertino (just search for 'Siracusa' on that linked page).

But those insights were the product of many months of hard research and testing and writing. So after dedicating a not-insignificant chunk of almost every year between 1999 and 2014 to nearly novel-length OS X reviews, John has decided it’s time to rest.

Of course, he’s not dying or anything—he’s just not doing any more ginormous OS X reviews. Fans of John can continue to follow his work at his site, Hypercritical; he also co-hosts the Accidental Tech Podcast, and if Twitter is your thing, you can tweet at him at @siracusa. And, of course, John will always have an open guest spot on the Ars front page.

As to what's next for Ars and our review of OS X 10.11, or whatever it ends up being called, fear not. Even though John has moved on, we’re going to carry on in the tradition he started and continue keeping the microscope trained on new OS X releases. Apple’s 2015 WWDC is coming up in June, and Ars Apple expert Andrew Cunningham will be there for the desktop and mobile OS details. When the next version of OS X appears, we plan on the Ars review continuing to be the review of record.

John wouldn’t want it any other way.
