Moving onto Mountain Lion cleaned up the mess, and eased the pain, but <em>dumbing<\/em> down the OS and the\u00a0<em>hide-and-seek<\/em> user interface just kept taking their toll.<\/p>\n<p>The final nail in the coffin was Mavericks. Buggiest OS that Apple ever released, even at 10.9.2, it is plagued with numerous SMB and Mail issues. The matching Server 3 achieved the lowest ratings on the Apple store with a whopping 1.5 stars. If your product is rated 1.5 stars, you pretty much <strong><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">know<\/span><\/strong> your product <em>sucks<\/em>. To add insult to the injury, all this with grandiose words coming from Tim Cook regarding Apple&#8217;s committment for its Mac product line during its 30th year anniversary. What a joke.<\/p>\n<p>So in the light of this, what do we think about Apple <em>quietly<\/em> dropping support for its best OS by not issuing an update since September 2013? We think it is a dumb decision in a series of many dumb decisions. Insanely bad.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>\u00a92014 EthnoSync.com.
