I am a bit annoyed at Apple these days for not refreshing iOS's interface, but it's still one of the best mobile operating systems in the world. Android has significantly improved after the release of Jellybean too, & I have to admit that I am impressed by Google's efforts. Apple needs to get out of these patent wars though, it's true that they have every right to enforce their patents, but crying over patent violations all the time simply reduces competition. In the end, it's always the consumer that suffers.
As for OS X, in my opinion it just happens to be the best operating system in the world, there is no question about it. My first Mac was a Macbook Pro as well, & I can honestly say that it was one of the best laptops I ever bought. Although, I had used OS X earlier, thanks to the "osx86" project. OS X Mountain Lion is better than Windows 8 in every possible way, whether it's its usability, software quality, stability, & even the user interface.
Samsung was warned by Google and others NOT to copy Apple's patents and that's why they've paid a huge price.
The management of Apple is very very clever... thanks to the Genius of Steve Jobs... what they do is re-engineer the newly discovered technology, while others try to be first in releasing the technology, Apple waits for it's maturity and then release it to the public with many customisations from their end and that's where Apple is being termed as innovative, and one of the reason why their systems works as stated.
Microsoft has initially concentrated on Software development while ignoring the Hardware... and when they realised it, Steve had taken the world with a storm already leaving no room for Microsoft Hardware development to groom... what Apple did, they introduced their in-laboratory software optimised for their own Hardware... and that's one of the reason, Apple's software run smooth and flawlessly on their own built Hardware, and that can be judged by looking at the wast majority they provide in Software too. Ask any professional Graphics designer, Musicians etc they all prefer Macintosh for their jobs to be 'well' done.
The future belongs to Apple and Google, even though I'm not a fan of android but considering the market share they've taken and is about to release their own phones and tablets, they can be challenging to innovation of Apple... at the end of the day, it's the consumer who'll get loads of Goodies and that's what matters.
