That’s what I never understood. Why is Windows a horrible experience. I use it everyday and it does exactly what I expect it to. It’s like a car, in that if it is fine tuned, it’s going to run like a champ.
Most of it comes from feeling like I have to trick the computer to do what I want it to. As opposed to a Mac where everything seems to work as expected from the get go. Not to mention the sheer amount of plug and play. I spent thirty minutes getting my sister’s PC ready to plug her digital camera into. With my Mac I snapped some pics and plugged the camera in and iPhoto started automatically.
And then some of it after using a Mac was the simple fact that XP doesn’t have an equivalent to Expose. I became addicted to using that in about a day. Now on a PC I’m like a crack addict clicking the mouse wheel expecting open windows to tile and it doesn’t happen. It isn’t enough to completely ruin the experience, but little annoyances like that tend to add up.
I certainly hope I’m not the only Mac user addicted to Expose.
