I would like to say that this is a very unfair argument for Windows Vista!
Microsoft spend thosands of hours producing the operating systems, of course
there are going to be problems and things people don't like. Also you need
to take into consideration that Microsoft write for a massive hardware base
where all systems are different. Apple on the other hand build and produce
their own systems and write the software for the systems.
I can see it now, Microsoft starting to make their own hardware. Something
tells me the EU wouldn't be very happy or anyone else for that matter. Its
true though Microsoft have to look after the masses.
for me personally Windows Vista has been a pleasure to work with. Sure UAC
was slightly anoying, but its there for a reason. Ok the layout didn't make
sense, but thats called change.
Feel free to go and get a Mac, they are a great peice of kit. Just remember
though how much it can cost to repair a mac if the hardware goes wrong.
Especially if your don't have an Apple Care protection plan. Hey if my PC
goes wrong i just swap bits out!
