[QUOTE="wornish, post: 390459, member: 15434"] This is not meant to be a Windows vs Apple rant. I switched from Windows XP over 10 years ago and never looked back. Apples simply do what it says on the box. I have never seen "the blue screen of death" or equivalent or had an apple crash on me ever in 10 years. The only time I had any slow down was when the disk drive was almost 95% full, the system has to do a lot of file swapping in and out of memory then and this does slow it down. The simple fix is either get more storage or remove unneeded files. Yes, the odd program has crashed but that was mainly down to the program itself, or more usually a Java bug, the system itself just carried on. Since Apple removed java and also reduced their dependence on Flash things just get better. The one area I am not so happy with Apple is the move to everything on iCloud which is becoming frustrating. You now have iCloud and Adobe's Creative Cloud the two systems don't work together and are constantly changing / evolving. I know Windows has improved over the years but I recently used my neighbours Windows 8 laptop, it drove me crazy with all the pop ups trying to help! If you are used to windows, know your way around it, then fine. I am not an apple fan boy and I know they cost more but for me Apple is worth it today, but... I will keep an open mind. [/QUOTE]
