You don't have to read what's below, it's just a "behind the scenes" look (and the song's name).
Because I was bored, I set up a second partition on my macbook pro and I installed some OS's in it. First, I tried windows xp 64-bit, expecting it to be fast, but it wasn't, and many drivers didn't work, so I replaced it with mac os x lion (why lion is explained later).
Because I didn't really need it for anything, and snow leopard is way better (I used to have mountain lion, but I recently downgraded to snow leopard, and my mac feels like a brand new computer now), before deleting the partition, I destroyed the OS. The reaction is different from when I tried it on a virtual machine two years ago. It's quite funny.
I'm loving having snow leopard on my computer again. Sadly, some apps are already starting to drop support for snow leopard (for example Pocket and iCloud), however, I can just use the Pocket website and bookmarklet, iCloud mail and notes still work in the snow leopard mail app, I have the reminders on my iPhone but I can read them on the iCloud website too... so far everything's working the way I like it to. And for backing up documents online I use dropbox, not that crappy iCloud which only works on macs and iphones with the expensive Pages app. For actual apps I made a mac os x mavericks developer preview virtual machine, so not only do I get the apps I need working, but I also try out the latest pre-release version of the mac os, which still doesn't beat snow leopard though.
However, when snow leopard gets too old (kinda like mac os x tiger is today, that os has been the latest mac os x version for 30 months, but now it's pretty much useless unless you like vintage computing), I will upgrade to lion (not mountain lion because for a little conflict with the EFI firmware and my hard drive I can't upgrade to anything newer than 10.8.2, and the latest version of mountain lion is 10.8.4), and I already have the install files for lion handy, which I tried on this secondary partition today.
