I’m afraid Apple turns more and more into a picture/video/social media/tablet game company and isn’t interested in office like software any more.

Once I turned to a Mac because of its wonderful synthesis of a command line unix and GUI. There is plenty of Unix software I can use and there are very interesting tools like Scrivener, Tinderbox and many more.

Nevertheless, I installed Parallels to run some Windows tools that don’t have a counterpart on OS X.

But now, I have to rethink if it wouldn’t be the time to go back to Windows and install VMWare to run Linux besides Windows.

I’m very frustrated that a software like QuarkExpress v9 doesn’t work on Mavericks any more and Apple cuts iCal synchronization, urges me into iCloud, cripples Pages/Numbers and what will show up next.

Yes, Windows isn’t the answer to everything but more and more I think it wouls be the smoother way to go.

I have to admit that fan of the Mac that I’ve been for the last six years, I think Apple really has screwed up the launch of the latest versions of its iWorks software. I haven’t been impressed with the release of the Mavericks OS either. Free of charge it may be; free of bugs it is not. When Audi tries to expand its market-place, the one thing it doesn’t do (if it’s wise) is to offend the users of its more up-market models; the expansion of its market-pace partly depends on image and word-of-mouth percolating down from the up-market sector.

But… recently I set up my wife’s new Windows desktop. Windows 8… need I say more?
