Diana's Comments
At the beginning of the video, when Philip announced the name of the operating system, Diana misunderstood "Mac OS X" as "Mac OSsex" (because Philip pronounced X as a letter and not as the number ten) and began getting remarking, "I hope it's not rude!" Diana proceeded to try the operating system anyway.
Diana really liked this operating system, even better than Linux Mint and put it high on her list of best operating systems. she mainly liked the magnification of the dock. Diana's only main complaint was the close buttons on the windows as she struggled to close them thinking the window buttons were just a decorative pattern "Pretty colors" she didn't like that the 'X' symbol was hidden when the button wasn't hovered over. Diana initially thought that the OS had a start menu like Windows and attempted to find it in the bottom left, she was told by Phillip that there would be serious copyright issues with Microsoft if MacOS had a start menu, due to the OS not having the familiar start menu she was used to, she struggled to find applications e.g. writing the text document. Diana liked OSX Jaguar more than Windows 8 and said that there were features it had she would like in Windows XP, 1 being the dock.
