“I will give Apple and OS-X this. They are dirt simple to use. “

Gee I would never have known that from teching support calls from Mac users. All had great trouble with basic operations.

I had some problems going from Windows and Linux to Mac. All the operating systems are different and you have to approach each with a different mindset.

Learning an operating system is like learning a new language. In many cases, it is like being dropped into a foreign country and being expected to deal with the tasks of daily life. It’s simple once you learn the language and culture, but if you don’t make an effort to learn the language, the simplest things are puzzling.

Unless they are Windoze converts, I doubt that. Of course there is an older generation that are brand new users, they require a little hand holding.

Mac Users groups abound, where any one can get free help.

Windoze experts charge a fee.

OTOH, I've never dealt with anyone from tech support that could handle requests for assistance about anything more complicated than basic operations.
