What sucks is that they made it even more appealing to hipsters by literally calling it "macOS" without the capitalization.

OS X (saying it like "ex" instead of the numeral it represents) made it sound really sleek.
You use Wine [emoji485] to get Linux/MacOS drunk so it doesn't realize it's running Windows applications.
