Apple is the only company that conceptualize and make it's products easy to use, cannot compare Panny with Apple, its injustice to Apple, LOL

Have to agree that their iOS is very easy to use.
OSX... Not really since I'm a hardcore wintel supporter.
Hardware functions... Probably prefer Sony or the rest since Apple always give us older generation parts, most of the time.

Sounds like the bodies are coming soon.... Now waiting for the HG / SHG / fast lenses...

If you're talking about lately, Apple has providing better performance with older parts because Intel has such incredibly poor designs with their integrated graphics hardware.

Just because you've been a hardcore Windows user doesn't mean that Mac OS X isn't easy to use. If you'd been using several different operating systems instead of only/mostly using Windows, you'd probably find Windows a pain.

Apple creates for the future. Panasonic creates for today.

Looks like Sony has made a powerful enemy? :bsmilie:

It's nothing new. As National, Panasonic was very big, very early. Sony became big later.

I think you are talking about Windows being a poor design instead of Intel since iMacs are using Intel chipset instead of PowerPC... no longer IBM processors liao.
I do brochures and posters for my ex-company on Mac OS X and Linux as my home server (Unix doesn't count since I haven't touch it for a few years), does that count as experience in different operating systems?
Anyway, what this means is that different people are receptive to different OS and that is not a bad thing.
I'm making my point on the backward approach that Apple applies most of the time which thankfully they have slowly changed.
