You have have followed this blog and found out I have moved to Apple. I am currently using a macbook pro (14″). It is a beauty of a laptop to look at and I now also have access to any software I want (or can afford).

The last sentence is really what I want to write about: Having access to any software.

First of: The Macbook is nice to look at and I hope PC manufacturers (or even Canonical) take a real close look at it and see what a great laptop should look like, not like the ones I see in the shop now which do look old and dated.

How ever… a computer is just so much more than a great look. And this is what I think is blinding most mac fans.

Before moving to Apple I used to have two computers. One running Windows and another one using Ubuntu Linux. And I must say that if you look away from the software you don’t have access to under Linux, the OS looks and feels great. It feels and looks mature. I actually think the ubuntu desktop works better than iOS.

I would really like to go back to Ubuntu Linux, but in order to do that professional software has to be in place and I must start getting the feeling software houses focuses more on Linux.

I do understand why Adobe and Microsoft do not focus on Linux on the desktop. The reason is obvious: Lack of market. But for Linux on the desktop I really think before mentioned software powerhouses should deliver first and see what happens.

My guess is that something will happen when it comes to market. My guess is that market share would go up.

Until then I’ll be struggling with an OS that during login does not understand or read that the keyboard in use is a Norwegian one. So much for great developers at Apple.
