See it yet ?
There ’s no VP for OS X or Mac applied science .
Craig Federighi — who still is Apple ’s fourth-year frailty chairman of “ Software Engineering”—is nowhere to be foundon the Apple Leadership page . Federighi replaced Bertrand Serlet — the father of OS X — after the latter left Appleback in March 2011 as “ VP for Mac Software Engineering . ”

A year later , Federighi is still not listed in Apple ’s Mount Olympus . Before Federighi , Serlet was in that list , one of the god who prevail Infinite Loop . Just like Avie Tevanian was there before him — Tevanian was Senior Vice President of Software Engineering from 1997 to 2003 , and Chief Software Technology Officer from 2003 to 2006 .
Now it ’s clear why Serlet depart . The writing was on the wall back then , after the success of the iPad and the unstoppable tide of iOS . Scott Forstall and his leather bloomers won that battle . really , iPhone and iPad — especially iPad — won that battle . A battle that will end in the completeiOSification of OS X , helped bytouch devicesandnew computer hardware designsthat will eventually lead to a single operating system to rule them all . This is something that was even hinted by Tim Cook himself during theintroduction of Mountain Lion .

It makes sense . First , the Mac will not disappear and OS X will continue to exist — just gravely switch . The fact is that both operating systems have already converged in a serious way . In fact , you may consider iOS a subset of OS X with some new stuff thrown in . It ’s not go to be much of a shock . It ’s just that OS X is deepen shape .
The iOS approach offers Apple total ascendence . Mountain Lion is already pave the wayfor the change by offering operating organisation serve to apps that are exclusively uncommitted through the App Store . It ’s the App ecosystem on the background .
And of course of study , and most importantly , Steve Jobs have it off more than a year ago thatiPad is the futurity . The staggering sales numbers proved him right . The whole marketplace is shifting because the market has spoken . That ’s why Apple considers OS X secondary and its gaffer does n’t come out on the Apple Leadership page . That ’s why Microsoft is putting all its power into the tablet marketplace . As is Google .
