Pity Party Mac OS
Warts and all, Mac OS X is here, and developers have to live with it. It’s up to third parties to make or break the new operating system now — that’s the message from Apple coming out of the recent Worldwide Developers Conference, said Matthew Rothenberg, writing for Interactive Week . His comments are posted in a new article entitled No Mac Is An Island.
Rothenberg accepted that Mac OS X’s current set of development tools may not make everyone happy. But with Apple shipping Mac OS X on all currently shipping Macs, “the onus now falls on application developers to frame their responses,” he wrote.
Rothenberg also remarked that OS X gives developers a clean slate to start from, to win the hearts and minds of Mac users who are open to new products for the first time in years. Rothenberg’s comments echo that of his colleague Daniel Drew Turner, who recently analyzed third party OS X Web browser efforts apart from Microsoft and Netscape owner AOL/Time Warner.
The efforts of major Mac developers like Microsoft have been slowed somewhat, Rothenberg said.

While it’s an informal expression used in spoken, print, and digital contexts alike, pity party is common and widespread enough to also appear in more formal contexts. For instance, a September 2016 Washington Post opinion piece by Jennifer Rubin accused the GOP of becoming a “pity party for white males.” The act of a pity party is sometimes called pity-partying, and to pity party, or to have a pity party. The 'classic' Mac OS is the original Macintosh operating system that was introduced in 1984 alongside the first Macintosh and remained in primary use on Macs until the introduction of Mac OS X in 2001. Apple released the original Macintosh on January 24, 1984; its early system software was partially based on the Lisa OS and the Xerox PARC Alto computer, which former Apple CEO Steve Jobs.

Furthermore still not possible to change the font size of messages list, all Retina Macusers know what I mean. It's a pity that's not implemented again; old third party extension doesn't work since a long time. Updating TH68 database to TH78 seems also not easy. Finally looking for another Mac email solution in the near future. Intel-based Macs can run native third party operating systems such as Linux, FreeBSD, and Microsoft Windows with the aid of Boot Camp or third-party software. (The same feat has been accomplished on ARM-based Apple silicon, but it requires an operating system built for it.).
“The moving target of Carbon APIs and other tools has made the task of synchronizing the feature set of Office’s core applications with their Windows counterparts a tortuous one indeed,” he said.
OS X is also giving established players like Macromedia a leg up on the competition, said Rothenberg. Case in point — Freehand 10’s release. It’s already out, while competitor Adobe still hasn’t yet released a Mac OS X version of its flagship software Photoshop.
“[Adobe] has been muted when it comes to articulating a timetable for delivery of Mac OS X-native versions of its core graphics packages,” said Rothenberg.
“The profound change in the Mac’s OS architecture has shaken up the game board and left Mac loyalists unusually open to considering the advantages of those applications that exploit the new ecosystem to its fullest,” he concluded.

To install Windows, use Boot Camp Assistant, which is included with your Mac.
1. Check your Secure Boot setting
Learn how to check your Secure Boot setting. The default Secure Boot setting is Full Security. If you changed it to No Security, change it back to Full Security before installing Windows. After installing Windows, you can use any Secure Boot setting without affecting your ability to start up from Windows.
2. Use Boot Camp Assistant to create a Windows partition
Open Boot Camp Assistant, which is in the Utilities folder of your Applications folder. Follow the onscreen instructions.
- If you're asked to insert a USB drive, plug your USB flash drive into your Mac. Boot Camp Assistant will use it to create a bootable USB drive for Windows installation.
- When Boot Camp Assistant asks you to set the size of the Windows partition, remember the minimum storage-space requirements in the previous section. Set a partition size that meets your needs, because you can't change its size later.
3. Format the Windows (BOOTCAMP) partition
When Boot Camp Assistant finishes, your Mac restarts to the Windows installer. If the installer asks where to install Windows, select the BOOTCAMP partition and click Format. In most cases, the installer selects and formats the BOOTCAMP partition automatically.
4. Install Windows
Unplug any external devices that aren't necessary during installation. Then click Next and follow the onscreen instructions to begin installing Windows.

5. Use the Boot Camp installer in Windows
After Windows installation completes, your Mac starts up in Windows and opens a ”Welcome to the Boot Camp installer” window. Follow the onscreen instructions to install Boot Camp and Windows support software (drivers). You will be asked to restart when done.
- If the Boot Camp installer never opens, open the Boot Camp installer manually and use it to complete Boot Camp installation.
