As a support person for both systems and some other things, my only beef with the Macs is the users. They really don’t know how to *do* anything when it is not as expected. They don’t know how to troubleshoot and just throw their hands up. I had one tell me it was just a tool. Fine, but don’t pretend it is a crisis when you don’t even try.

I DON’T WANT to troubleshoot a computer, I’ve got an imac and a macbook now and curse a lot less now. I also do not want to ever learn to fix my car.
Why in the world does microsoft windows send you out to the mean streets of the internet with nothing but a rusty pocket knife to protect you against an advancing army of trojan horses, viruses, malware, etc., ad infinitum??? And why do I have to be the one to pay/figure out my defense strategy?
It’s insulting/bordenline disdainful to the consumer, OK gladiator here’s your wooden stick go fight those lions.
Doesn’t microsoft realize this is their biggest disadvantage against apple and why they’ve lost me forever as a cusomer. The OS SHOULD protect you for FREE or it’s worthless.
And if you had done what MS recommends then the OS would have protected you. Don’t run as admin, use the free firewall that comes with the OS, get automatic updates and Windows boxes can be quite secure. Don’t do those things and no OS will protect you.
