People think that Snow Leopard is a result of Apple being out of ideas

Windows Enthusiasts have worked hard to remain unimpressed with Apple. Despite selling a small minority of the entire world’s sum total of servers, desktops, and laptop systems, the company has maintained a profile larger that it seemingly should.
