    Mac OS X 10.9.1 and iOS 7.0.6. I haven't touched a Windows machine for almost three years now.

    Firefox is ending support for Windows. Clearly, Windows is on the decline.

    Mozilla (Firefox) is ending support for Windows 8 Metro because so few people use it. Sorry I implied that it was all versions of Windows.

    At Boston University, it's pretty rare to see anyone using anything other than Mac. Only the people over 50 use Windows.

They said something was not going to be possible...Only I don't know what they were talking about. Have this. It works fine for my purposes, and that is all I care about.

    Mac is short for Apple Mcintosh ;)

    That's succesful marketing for you... It seems the majority of students here uses Macs as well but it is not nearly so extreme that only the 50+ are using windows!

    Yeah, I think I know what you mean. I actually think Apple hit a high point with Snow Leopard and things have been getting a bit worse since then. I don't like the trend to dumb things down to make the OS more like iOS. But notifications have gotten a lot better. And support for full-screen apps with multiple displays.
