It's not like you only can have one video player installed. So yes, the 1-2 second lag is there and yes, I am no fan of the most recent version of macOS that I've been trashing in other threads as of late, but I'd rather wait 2 seconds for something I'll never do again than go through the constant pain that is working with Windows. I can't remember the last time I had a kernel panic. And that's to say nothing of the dreaded BSODs (blue screens of death for those unfamiliar), the not infrequent crashes and comparatively poor overall stability depending on what software you paired with what version of Windows.

Naturally, there were reboots involved here as well. When it was finally done, I then had to begin the arduous process of removing all the pre-installed crap-ware and trial versions of software I didn't want. Thankfully, I saw the light and switched to the Mac after Win 7, so I never had to deal with Windows 8, 8.1, or 10.ĭuring the installation process, I also didn't have to go through 5 or 6 reboots, nor did I have to wait forever and a day for Windows to download dozens upon dozens of updates, sometimes over 100, and other times a whole Service Pack. I just re-installed an older version of macOS because the newer one still sucks, and when I think about what re-installing NT, XP, Vista and Win 7 was like, it was an absolute pleasure and breeze to deal with the Mac. Yea, I hear ya on some of the artifacts that show up every now and then, and I did also observe the 1-2s lag with the 10 Finder windows, but overall, I mean puh-lease, OS X is still mountains better than Windows ever was and probably ever will be. So I don't expect any decent next generation video playback on graphics hardware from them soon. So latest macOS operating system on latest super incredible hardware can't draw even 10 stupid Finder windows in real time. Create 10 File Explorer windows using Ctrl+N. The Finder windows will be created in real time. Get a very old Mac that runs anything from OS 9 to Snow Leopard. Hit Command+N 10 times very quickly to make 10 Finder windows. Get any new Mac made in the last 2 years. Just to prove how bad they have become at even the most simple and basic thing do this test.ġ. Then when you go on the iTunes Store and click on the section '4K HDR' you go in there and most of the stuff is plain 4K with no HDR. They pressure you to buy an Apple TV to watch 4K HDR content instead of using your shiny expensive machine even though you can't travel with an Apple TV. They produce **** graphics drivers so they move you on to a new machine. So they cripple your graphics video acceleration UNTIL they move you on to a new machine. The rule at Apple has always been to screw customers, cripple features, sell additional crap customers don't need, obsolete products early and pressure upgrades on users.
