[QUOTE="Shadowrider, post: 3320359, member: 3099"] And I've always said MS sucks at producing software. LOL I recently had to upgrade to Windows 10 against my will. Thanks Intuit, enjoy that coerced revenue! But anyway, W10 installs updates daily and sometimes multiple updates daily. That's not good software design, that's piss POOR product quality and design. Meanwhile my Mac needs an update 3 to 4 times per year...Maybe. Also, I've upgraded OSX at least 6 times (I've really lost track and don't know) and it's never cost me a penny. Over the years I think MS WIN upgrades cost me around $179 each and every time. The way Bill Gates did it was making it affordable and more pretty with his windows GUI, he did a great job with that. Back in the day when he was taking over the computing world we were using Silicon Graphics unix based workstations, similar machines from IBM, and DEC Alpha workstations that ran VMS. Those cost real money as in multiple thousands and that's all there was that would do real work like drafting in CAD/CAM and graphics design/animation stuff. O/P if you are like me and want to pull something out of the box and have it just work then you want a Mac. If you want to be a techno geek and enjoy tweaking things then Linux is what you want. These days Linux just amounts to an open source version of Unix, and Unix is what's underneath and runs the Mac. It was designed from the jump back in the '60s with security as #1 in mind and that's why hackers have a much harder time with breaking into it. Yes, I admit I hate all things MS.... [/QUOTE]
