@mjtsai One factor in Snow Leopard’s apparent resilience: Core Duo Macs can’t upgrade past 10.6.
-
@stormchild I think that’s a small factor. For my customers, only 5% of 10.6 users are 32-bit only (Core Solo and Core Duo).

@mjtsai Hmm…in that case it’s probably more than offset by the number of new Macs that shipped with at least 10.7 and can’t go *back*.

@stormchild Yes, you would think everything would be skewed by the fact that Apple sells more new Macs these days, and they can’t go back. -
@mjtsai I’d almost go back just to get Finder windows to resize properly again. Annoys me >50 times a day, and 10.8 made it even worse. -
@stormchild My 10.8 annoyance is that the Finder no longer remembers my windows between reboots. -
@mjtsai Try disabling the “Restore windows” setting, then close/reopen System Prefs and turn it back on. Did that make it stick? -
@stormchild There is no more “restore windows” setting, only “Close windows when quitting,” which I’ve unchecked. -
@mjtsai Oh yeah. Try *checking* that, close/reopen, then uncheck. It fixed a couple apps for me that weren’t honoring that setting. -
@stormchild OK, I’ll try that. Thanks. Are you also getting duplicate copies of login items in the Dock, even with restoration off? -
@mjtsai Haven’t seen that one. What does it look like? Redundant launch of same thing? Icon appears, disappears, then reappears? - Show more
