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.
What precisely is giving you problems where you have to trick Windows into doing what you want to do? Is it an issue with new programs and unfamiliarity; differences with Apple you're so used to doing a certain way, and having to do it differently is frustrating, and not logical to you?
Here is a hint with the plug and play aspect. I avoid that issue with a camera buy using a $15 San Disk card reader. The camera never needs to be plugged into the computer and the wasted space of installing 2 or 3 software suites for camera editing (I have 3 digital cameras) would be a waste of hard drive space. With the multi-reader it acts as a removeable drive. Simple.
