It’s just like you to consider a disagreement to be threadshitting. Doesn’t make it so, however.
And therein lies one of the fundamental problems of many Mac people who rag on Windows: the fact that they generally seem to have an idea about Windows that is at least five years out of date, and often ten or fifteen.
Last time i participated in one of these threads, one Mac supporter’s reason for preferring Macs was:
It sounds like the last time this guy looked at Windows was around the time of Windows ME. In Windows XP, i never had any trouble with printers, cameras, or wi-fi. Same in Windows 7.
As i said, if doing that takes hours of your time every month, you can’t be doing it very well.
In the year and a half that i’ve had my Win7 box, i’ve never had to choose what to delete manually, because if the software is allowed to keep itself up to date, it never lets anything onto the computer in the first place. Every time my scans run, the only message they give me is something along the lines of “The scan is complete. No problems were found.” As i suggested, if you’re having to clean crap off your computer in Windows on a regular basis, then there’s something wrong.
I think Macs are fantastic computers. My wife has a Macbook Pro for work, and she’s about to move to a Macbook Air. She had a choice of Mac or Windows computers, and chose Mac partly on my recommendation. None of this has anything to do with a desire to bash Macs or to threadshit.
