As one who hates, loathes, and f*rts in the general direction of Microsoft, I must admit that windows 7 (used at work) is not bad at all. It’s interesting, however, that our company now allows employees to choose their computers every replacement cycle - and PC populations are diminishing as fast as children in liberal households.
This is not to exonerate Apple, however, Mountain Lion had a number of very irritating “improvements”, and iOS7’s new graphics make me think they’re hiring the engineers that Microsoft fired.
