Cat, meet pigeons. Apple played a blinder at this year's Worldwide Developers' Conference (WWDC). Not only did it announce new hardware, and ship Mavericks -- the latest update to OS X -- it also stuck up a pair of manicured fingers at sometime-rival/sometime-ally, Microsoft.
You might say the Seattle giant has slightly lost its way with its 30-year-old operating system. There was the underwhelming Windows RT, the bifurcation of versions -- which it apparently wants to bring closer together again, and its dithering over whether or not the start button is a good thing. All in all, it's had a lot on its plate.
Apple, on the other hand, has maintained a clear distinction between its mobile and desktop operating systems, and shipped updates for each -- for free.
