Well that’s too bad that this person is conning himself into thinking that his Mac will be in perfect working order permanently with now interaction from himself. People like that are the reason why he had to “maintain” Windows. It doesn’t break on it’s own unless you are completely careless. I’ve never had to do anything. My systems also are filled with crap nor do I goof around with stuff that isn’t meant to be goofed around with.
Maybe he isnt too aware that Each Apple store has a repair desk in the back just for that same reason?
Sorry, you are way off base. I helped him move his corporate accounting stuff over to Mac, including virtualization to support the *one* program which he needed to keep from Windows. He and his bookkeeper both love it, and commented that everything just seems to keep working. With Microsoft, even without any tampering from the user, you can bank on one of Microsoft’s updates to screw up something on your system sooner or later.
