[QUOTE="Cochese, post: 172716, member: 12249"] Actually, what gives PCs such a awful reputation is that people, a lot of the time, go and buy the cheapest thing at a certain performance point. PC makers take money from crapware manufacturers to lower the selling cost, and it's that crapware that slows down the computer. Couple that with poor customer service (comparatively) and a not as nice buying experience, and there's your poor reputation. For laptops at least, the trick is to purchase business class models. You pay a bit more, but there's no crapware. The only unwanted thing on mine was a trial of Office. As such, it works as it should. I think that point is relevant to the OP - if you want a better experience, buy something without the crapware: either Mac or a business class PC. [/QUOTE]
