...in empty promises of a trouble-free OS that is actually less stable than XP, and overpriced, unreliable hardware. I've been on both sides of the fence. It's better on the PC side. "It just works" is an empty promise to people willing to be duped into thinking that there's ANY platform that will run well without under-the-hood awareness and simple routine maintenance.

Mac's power management and heat problems are chronic since G4 and not getting better.
If you must be un-Microsoft, try Linux on a dual boot PC. But do NOT migrate to an OS where you are at the mercy of ONE hardware manufacturer.
Topic after topic and complaint after complaint... Why dont we all teach all these companies that give us migrane headaches over software, hardware, OS, and peripheral compatibility etc, that we arent going to stand for it? I have decided to turn away from the PC and am looking at buying a Mac. Now I understand that there is a lot of people who will disagree, but with a mac, theres no windows viruses, but if you decide you can run windows on it, though why you'd want to bewilders me. Plus macs are always good to go and everything is ready to work together nicely.
If everyone went with a Mac for a while, you'd all see Microsoft have a heart attack and they would bend over backwards making everything better to get people back. I am sure they would start talking with other companies and making sure that all the upgrades people didto be compliant with spec from the last upgrade, are still compatible with the latest one.
If nobody is going to do anything about it, then why would Microsoft care what you think or do? If you suddenly took out a huge chunk of their money by going to a Mac, then you would see some immediate and drastic changes. So for all the complaining people are doing, you sure arent doing anything about it. Therefore, nobody will listen but other complainers and Microsoft and all the places that are getting rich off your upgrades and new computers etc, are just going to laugh at you but they.ll smile while taking your money. At least they'll only laugh at you behind your back. lol
So to everyone I say if you arent going actually take action and do something about it, you really have no reason to whine. If you are just going to whine, then like I said... whine to the people who are taking your money for your upgrades etc, because they get a kick out it.
Have a great day everyone. I am busy looking at macs though. lol
