I foresaw this coming in 1995 when I had to put those damned PCs together, and every since then when Windows still requires drivers made in Taiwan that still don’t work. I’ve always hated Windows and refuse to use it except in business situations where I can’t, or where it is an entrenched sever. Mac is the perfect work, play, development platform hands down - and right out of the box - and Windows is just, ugh...that thing that doesn’t go away and still gives BSODs, creates its own malware, misfires often (Office still crashes on modern hardware after a few days, Outlook still gets corrupted databases after a year or two, etc.) after all these years.

I talked to a IT guy who builds and fixes PCs. While he has more than just a working knowledge of MACs, he still thinks PCs are a better platform. He said that if the number of MACs was comparable to PCs they would get hacked just like PCs. The Hackers are like Willy Sutton. They hack where the money is.

I have a 2011 Dell Inspiron17R (in WORKGROUP), Windows 10 x64 build 16299, 2.0 GHertz Intel Core i7-2630QM 64 kilobyte primary memory cache 256 kilobyte secondary memory cache 6144 kilobyte tertiary memory cache 64-bit ready Multi-core (4 total) Hyper-threaded (8 total) .

I will be in the marked for a new Platform in about 2 years. Do you really think that MAC is the answer?

[Mr. K]

what world are you living on? I have not seen a BSOD in years, and I write software for a living.

I’ve never seen an outlook DB, or any of those other things.

Yeah they happen occasionally, but you’ve got thousands of different companies working in that engineering environment.

MAC is one world. And after 4 decades they still have not taken over, despite being a superior operating system. (Yes, I agree it is) Why do you think that is?

Linux - Linux Mint in particular - ftw.

Bullpucky... I have two devices at home that have not seen a BSOD in 3+ years (Win 7 then Win 10), nor has my work laptop (Win 7). Outlook 2016 (@home) has been stable, and Outlook 2013 (@work) is stable; Work instance of outlook has 7 archives attached, some >5GB - the DB limitation was fixed in 2010. Maybe you should upgrade and get off Win98/Office 2003 - LOL /snark

You're just a pissed off MAC user who hates Windows and likely really doesn't ever use the platform ("refuse to use it except in business situations where I can’t, or where it is an entrenched [sic] sever.").
