Those of us who run Macs have an easier time of it, that’s true, but even Apple’s updates have occasionally caused problems. Software is complicated, and updates are hard to do without mistakes.

My Windows machines are all virtual (VMs) running in VMware Fusion, on my Mac hardware (Mini and MacBook). I don’t install Windows “on the metal” unless for screaming performance reasons I have to. Extreme gaming is about the only reason for doing so, but it’s a good reason.

As a result, if Windows takes a crap, restoring is a simple file copy from a recent backup copy of the VM. And Time Machine is the best backup software I’ve ever used.
