Come to the Mac side of the Force.

well i figured it was the 7th OS. apparently im too young to remember 3.1 (i wouldve been 11 when Win95 came out, plus my elementary schools used Macs then, Apple 2e - why do i remember that?) and blanked on ME altogether.

i hate that the nomenclature is inconsistent. as is Windows general awesomeness. i just saw that new slim macbook in person today and was in love. (the owner came back from the bathroom and slid the laptop from between her folded NYTimes!)

i was impressed, especially since my 10-lb, 2004 POS Compaq is the equivalent to a hooptie on Pimp My Ride. buttons falling off (who needs a Q anyway?), print wearing off, spacebar sticking, painter's tape on the side, noisy fan, dust permanently in crevices... it just looks ancient. and obviously a hot mess.

ETA: you no answer my question. why come out with a new OS? especially when the time between XP -> Vista -> 7 is so short?
