Just when you really miss Chet and the pitbull threads along comes a good Mac vs Window thread!
On your post, I heard Win8.1 was good. I’m due for a new box but wanted to wait past the first intro of Win8. I’m not one to go for the first release.
As my post stated, I went from Win7 to 8.1 - never experienced Win8.
That said, Win8.1 boots REALLY fast direct to the Desktop. I rarely visit the “tiles” but the program menu with its very small tiles is just fine by me.
Re: stability, XP was horrible with its “Blue Screen of Death” crashes - yet some freepers swear it’s still the best.
Win7 was much more stable than XP...and Win8.1 is darn close to perfect on stability. Add its faster speed, I don’t get the attacks on WIN.
I’ve never been an Apple fanbois - waaay to much hype and overpriced.
