10大遗产:乔布斯改变世界
苹果操作系统 不论是面对MS-DOS、Windows还是Linux,苹果操作系统(Mac OS)总是希望能比竞争对手做到更加简单易用,而且这种倾向显而易见,不论是Mac OS 7还是Mac OSX,这些软件在很大程度上都衍生自乔布斯在NeXT(1985年乔布斯离开苹果后创建的公司——译注)的工作成果。Windows系统的粉丝有时会批评Mac OS缺少个性化选项,但这正是它的卖点。通过最大化地实现简单易用,Mac OS在易用性与稳定性方面一直广受赞誉,而多年以来,Windows在这些方面一直无法企及。 |
The Mac OS Apple operating systems were always intended to be simpler than the competition -- MS-DOS, Windows or Linux -- and that approach is readily apparent, whether it's Mac OS System 7 or Mac OSX, software largely derived from Jobs' work at NeXT. Windows fans sometimes criticize it for lacking customization options, but that's really the point. By making it as simple and easy-to-use as possible, the Mac OS maintains a strong reputation for accessibility and stability, something that couldn't always be said of Windows through the years. |
