The book just didn't have the Mona Simpson speech moments, or the Pineapple Pizza moments in Steve's life:
Tim O'Reilly: I am really starting to hate Mac OS X. 15 years ago
I'm very happy OS X, though not perfect, is the way it is.
Many switchers expect OS X to behave like their old OS's. It's like they get imprinted on the first OS they used and can't move on.
They just don't "get it". Maybe OSX is too visual for them and they don't understand the trade-offs made to keep it simple and consistent. They don't see the 30+ years of tradition in the UI.
On top of that, Apple stupidly doesn't have a manual for learning the cool tricks - like holding down the command key when you click on a window title in the Finder to see your path history.
Maybe you and O'Reilly need one of the many O'Reilly books on the subject. This one is one of my favorite.

I was confused by the quote too. I did some searching - The TS Elliot quote is what I think of when I think of Mac vs Windows, and iPhone vs Android.

At the same time. From the Issacson bio, I think there was no reserved CEO parking spot either.
Buddhist Billionaires can be confusing.
Jony Ive is just the Shigeru Miyamoto of Apple.

The New Apple Advantage 15 years ago
Paying $200-$300 for OSX, a MagSafe, glass trackpad, aluminum unibody, glass screen is just fine.
Who knows, maybe OS X will have better battery life, and cooler operation?
Then again, I'm a programmer, but still the type of guy who would get one of those new, overpriced, Commodores or VICs.
