What windows doesn't work properly, and you have to pay someone to get it working properly...... that's capitalism :)Ms designs something, sells it, then trains people to go out and fix something that should never have been broke before hand. LOL

I reckon XP was funamentally unsuitable for the purpose for which was sold. If you installed it and then jumped on the net you were a gonner :eek: Instead you had to install firewalls..virus checkers.. anti-spyware etc to stand a chance. Even then you weren't entirely safe.

My mac out of the box. Default config.. nothing extra installed. After 18 months of cable connectivity... not a issue :)

My Macs work without effort, but the lone Wintel PC in this house is a constant source of angst...

I'd like to like it but.....................


frankly, windows XP is just like an old 'three on the tree'

OSX works like a good auto, just like the box in my Landy....

unix backround so jumped to a mac as soon as osx was out...was a good move..apart from a couple of disk crashes over the years, not a problem. Have 'converted' rather a lot of mates to use a mac and now dont get any 'support' calls from the converted....except on what new mac to buy :-)

running a mini in a rangie for almost 2 years with NO issues, reboots etc...try that on a pc:twisted: The first 14months or so was a ppc, the last 7 or so have been an intel mini.

As other users have stated, they just work out of the box which leaves more time for play ;)

Everyone remember in the movie Midnight Express where all the Microsoft PC dudes were walking the wheel.

And the Mac guy asks " why are we all walking in this direction?"
The reply was " be cause we are bad machines"

Then the Mac guys replies : I'm not a bad machine " and walks the opposite direction. The Microsoft PC guys get in a flurry and try to persuade him to walk in their direction:twisted:

And of course the Linux guys just stood on the side line and shook their heads and said " if they only know":angel:
