I woke up to an Apple Software Update. I didn’t think much of it until I realized it was an update for Safari. Running Windows XP, I figured it was a mistake, but I downloaded it anyway. Turns out they really did release it for Windows. After downloading it, I went and opened it. I have only used a Mac a few times, but every time I do I like it more and more. To me it doesn’t look like they changed a whole lot compared to the Mac version.
The thing I like about Apple programs and products is the simplicity of things. They don’t fill up the interface with to many buttons, and its never to colorful. They usually stick to grey, black, blue and white, which is nice and easy on the eyes. I started browsing to my usual sites, checked my email, and just got familiar with Safari. The loading times are quick, and I haven’t had any trouble going to sites.
Hopefully Microsoft and Apple, or OSX and Windows, if you will, will keep sharing programs. This gives people the chance to get the best of both worlds. As much as I would like a Mac, I just can’t afford one at this point, but with the application sharing it gives people like me a chance to be a bit more familiar, so when the time comes and I do get a mac, it will be one less thing to learn.
