Call it a new and different operating system and leave it at that.
I have learned that you do the new-new thing a disservice if you yield
to the common desire to force it into a readily comprehended semantic
box. Make 'em choose between ignoring it or doing a little mental work.

My uncle likes to say that the world’s biggest troubles started when the serpent said, “Try this fruit, and by the way if a bunch of people collectively calling themselves Arthur Andersen signs something it’s the same as if a person named Arthur Andersen signed it.” I don’t get the serpent and fruit part. Must be some Swiss mythology thing. He can be a bit obscure.
