Yes, it was a gigantic step up from Windows ME, but don't act like I'm just making stuff up just because (now) I own a Mac. I didn't convert until 2 years ago. Up until that time I was just like any other "PC" owner.
I never mentioned anything about Windows 7. I never said Macs are better. I do know that people buy Macs and replace OS X with Windows. |
Program freezing is a problem of the program and not the operating system. If you get regular bluescreens either the hardware is defective or you have subprime driver installed. Both is a reason to get deeper into it. I'm not a fan of Windows Vista but it was made primarily because the Win XP 32 Bit didn't support RAM over 4 GByte (and for the 64 Bit version wasn't enough drivers around).
Anyway, I mostly use Linux now (but Windows 7 here and there) and if something isn't working I can fix it myself.
I have nothing against reasonable Mac users (everybody has the right to make mistakes in their life ;=) ) but the instability of Windows is a mythos which was true in Windows 9x times but now it's very stable.
I'm allergic to this superb religious attitude of some Mac users where Windows is still absolutely unstable and a Mac never crashes ...
