Mac is very popular in web design / web programming industry and as most of mac owners are IT related people they like different updates and improvements tracking the development of software like no other do. Therefore it’s not surprising that they pass to the newer OS. + new users = good sales

I feel like I’m not smart enough to answer the questions I’m asked.

This isn’t news or amazing. And it shouldn’t be impressive to anyone if you think of the following facts.

1. The Mac install base is higher than it was a couple years ago

2. The cost of the update is insanely cheap compared to Leopard

This would only be news if the sales of Snow Leopard WEREN’T doubling the sales of Leopard.

One of those ’300 features’ that I have been hoping to see for the last 5 years is full keyboard transliteration support so that I can work in multiple languages without having to change my keyboard driver (effectively turning my keyboard into a puzzle where the pieces are all invisible).

The folks at Windows ignored this request. The folks at Google have started implementing it for Orkut (esp. Indic languages). Maybe Apple will beat Team Redmond on this one?

If Apple would make transliteration support part of the core text programming components (and a nice interface to it a the GUI level) they would have a huge competitive advantage over Windows and Linux.

It is really hard to write up documents that use several languages. It is annoying to have to change the keyboard driver to do a quick search on something in a language different than the default locale.

If you want to know more about transliteration there is an article in Wikipedia about it. If you would like to try it out (and get more information about it) then you can Google on a demo I built called emsTyper (GNU GPL web page using Open Source Javascript shows). You can also check out the Google help about it.

It’s good guy stuff.

Thanks!
