    > The concept of "filesystem" is an increasingly weak concept.

    Yeah because Apple has broken that idea over and over and over. The anti-unix unix.

      It's nothing to do with evil old Apple and everything to do with phones being hard to type on, and search becoming better.

        I remember it like this. Windows XP and earlier was a horrible era for stability and security and the world was overall less connected. Phones were always on and always connected. The iPhone was honestly the first stable internet device, that didn't sleep or pause, and the first internet device many people had that wasn't infected by viruses.

          Huh? Windows XP was the first NT-based release for home users. It was a milestone in stability.

            XP was godawful for years security- and stability-wise until the release of SP2.

              No it wasn’t. XP was quite solid in terms of stability, miles beyond its predecessors. You have to remember that its mediate predecessor was Windows ME.

              It was also far more secure, but it was still not nearly secure enough.

                It definitely was.

                &gt; It was also far more secure, but it was still not nearly secure enough.

                That&#x27;s one way to say &quot;plagued by a decade of botnets.&quot;

                Now google XP blue screen of death. Still alive and well then.

                If the bar is Microsoft&#x27;s most loathed release, then I guess you could call it stable and secure.

                  Compared to W98SE, the actual OS for home users (almost no one used ME), Windows XP was a godsend.
