As I said to the other poster, Steve was a great showman. He was a sweet talker; sort of like someone who's single and looking to get a little action with the ladies. Say whatever to get laid and then move on -- saying "Wham bam thank you ma'am.
In business terms, the word "pipeline" means below.
In business, a "pipeline" is a source where products and services flow into a said business or company out to an eventual customer. What's in the "pipeline" could simply be anything from information, to processes, to services, or actual products.
So he was playing both sides. He was making sure Apple didn't get stuck with existing PPC stock that he knew couldn't be sold once they went full Intel, so he had to say that he had a pipeline of PPC products coming. At the same time, convey a message to people that they are changing to Intel and so he can get the early adopters to buy into the system without worrying that they are transitioning too slowly.
It's a like a single person saying "I'll marry you after I got laid". Then afterwards, the person just moves on and say; I never said anything about getting married. It's you who think I implied.."
But his true intentions were otherwise.. If he were to drop the word "pipeline", then yes you have a point. But he did say "pipeline".
By "interact" do you mean -- ask questions and if they aren't of a certain variety you get shot down, derided and otherwise told to get lost?
A good accessory manufacturer has that on their radar when the betas show up.
Ding, Ding, Ding, We Gotta Winnah!!! Best take of this thread. I DO the EXACT SAME THING!. Use the right tool for the job.
I see, your problem is that you apply logic, care and critical thinking rather than blame others for your mistakes.
We disagree on principle, that's all
Irrespective of intentions of a poster, there can be enjoyable insights and discourse that results.
If some of you would just let that occur as opposed to derailing these threads and wishing to get them "terminated" and "sent to the wasteland".
Not every thread is for everyone.
I'm curious what "enjoyable insight" you've gained. Could you point it out?
The lessons to be learned here are basic knowledge for anybody who claims to have 1,5 decades worth of Mac knowledge. Back up your stuff, have a fallback system or at the very least a bootable older version that you know works, don’t blindly install stuff and most of all, don’t expect the OS maker to personally warn you if certain accessories may or may not work.
You’re high fiving the trolls who create accounts here simply to bash, and that at a low level.
I note:
Microsoft appear to be doing everything they can to force Windows users to use Edge browser.
I note:
In days of yore, you could often lie through your teeth as to what model your printer really was. If it spoke HP-lingo, you might get a few issues with fancy features, but you could often print adequately. Blame the printer makers. Let's have a very small number of virtual printers and be able to print using them even if the specific model driver doesn't exist.
I note:
It doesn't appear to be Apple or Parallels who are preventing us running licensed Windows-based VMs. Blame Microsoft for not offering the possibility of purchasing licences.

FYI: If the latest Windows 11 really wants to use Edge, it will use Edge no matter what
The days of redirecting microsoft-edge: links to a non-Microsoft browser are over

He also announced the transition - which by definition says the current situation is changing... moving from this (PowerPC) to that (Intel)... he didn't say "NEVER", nor did he imply "NEVER"... seems to me that "NEVER" is vastly different from "there will be transition in the next two years. We're getting ready" - sounds pretty imminent to me ... wonder what he was "getting ready" for, if not abandoning PPC in favor of Intel? One cannot pick and choose parts of a statement to fit their argument. Context matters.
Strange. I have no problem continuing to use Brave on my winbook after upgrading to 11.
Its always interesting to read posts like this to hear peoples rationale for using one platform over another. I use Windows and macOS for different tasks and see no reason not to use one over the other. I also have an announcement, I decided to switch body wash soaps, the one I was using was starting to give me a skin rash and I decided to go with the Nivea Sensitive Skin body wash for men, It really has made a huge difference in skin irritation and I have been ordering 3 packs off Amazon in an effort to save money. Its the little things in life that make all the difference.
It doesn't say you can't use Brave. It is a bit more subtle than that - at this stage.
Every version of every OS has APIs that are deprecated in favor of new APIs... that's what the whole beta release process is about... and it's incumbent upon developers to develop - that is, to update to support changes from the platform design.
Was there a question in the OP that I missed?
Hint: the first question mark in the thread doesn't appear until post #4.
Seems like a legit reason since inability to print would be a show stopper to me. He could downgrade MacOS but it's a PITA relative to Windows recovery to easily revert to previous non-upgraded state or even new installation of prior OS version with option to keep existing files. Mob mentality responses from the usual group are cringey though. Instead of victim blaming and shaming maybe push Apple to come up with an easier way like how they finally implemented MacOS factory reset without jumping through hoops.
mojave seems to like our aged laptops
High Sierra hated my MacBook air while Mojave is more fluid.
Remember how she said that we would meet again ... some sunny day? The OP will come back someday.
To be fair it seems that his recent experiences left him very disappointed, he was with the Mac 15 years. He stated he is a basic user. Moved to Windows and it all 'just works' where do I hear that comment all of the time? Disappointed enough he signed up to vent. Happens a lot on this forum but the responses are very much dependent on how triggered you all are. Leaving the Mac for Windows is a good trigger for Apple faithful.
Had the OP signed up said he was moving to Mac after 15 years on Windows you would all be applauding and lauding him over his decision.
Apple won't miss him, none of you will miss him. But I suspect he has given some of you the opportunity to feel good about yourselves with some of those comments.
