It is irrelevant now everything runs on Macs

Apple fanzine the New York Times' "On Tech" newsletter has dismissed the news that Microsoft releasing a new version of Windows as a "non event".

For those who don't know, the New York Times gets moist every time Tim Cook has a bowel movement and hints at a new Apple product. However, in this article Shira Ovide, dismissed the arrival of a new Windows as a non event.

"This shows the technology has evolved from a succession of Big Bang moments to something so meshed into our lives that we often don't notice it", Ovide's op-ed says.

In the narcissistic way of the US press, Ovide distracts from the subject of his piece by talking about himself.

"The last version of Windows as we knew it was arguably released in 2012. I was a reporter at The Wall Street Journal at the time, and my professional life that year was dominated by the unveiling of Windows 8 — including the anticipation, the strategy around it, and its eventual reception. But that was basically the end of an era. New releases of Windows since then have become progressively less major."

Of course, one of the reasons why no one cares about Windows anymore is the fact that Apple invented the smartphone and made PCs history.
