So I've been playing with windows 10 and Yosimte.
Now they have been marketed (as per usual) as the best thing since sliced bread.
But I wonder, how much actual effort has gone into them, does it really take years to do a few
UI tweaks, move a bunch of tiles from full screen to a start menu that was there a few iterations ago?
OK apple have added some nice integration touches via icloud, but at the end of the day they are all just
a bunch of urls and ftp scripts.
So where are all the big new innovations e.g. the jump from windows 3.1 -->95, 95-->XP-> vista/win7 (even then vista was more of a UI tweak) and Mac went from Power to x86 (must have been a bugger to port)
I'm no professional programmer, but I managed to create quite a complex database application in 6 months from scratch in VB
