I'm 100% linux, even on my work PC, but I will spare you the evangelism. lol
It's pretty safe to look at Microsoft as a shining beacon of what not to do when it comes to (re) design. I'm not an Apple fan, but I do respect that OSX has basically just had incremental / evolutional UI changes since it was first released. Any major differences (AFAIK, anyway) were slowly and progressively implemented over several versions.
I was an Apple fan for most of my life. And then Jobs died. The man was a huge asshole by all accounts but he sure knew how to design. Since then Apple has become just another tech giant making average products driven by business majors.
Jobs was our asshole. New version of OS X would have issues and they'd fix stuff through point releases and things I noticed, he also noticed.
I'm not convinced that Cook knows how to use a computer. And he certainly didn't know how to deal with Ive, which boils down to knowing software vs hardware.
