Tell me just be clear and to the point, I Can't stand Microsoft much less windows! Ok so there are other pc platforms, Linux is good but too complicated for the end user.
Windows is buggy, and requires a ridiciolous amount of maintenace to keep it running right. Right now I am using an older mac ( a Quad 650 ) which believe it or not I am getting alot out of. You can do far more with than older mac than an older pc. I plan to buy an IMAC or a G4 depending on how much i have left aftering getting my car repaired.
Mac OS Isn't perfect either but it blows winds away. I can't stand Microsoft they forced the consumers to use there damn products, and they act like buggy software is perfectly acceptable.
