You found one thing on the Mac you could not control completely... there are an infinite number of things that cannot be controlled on a windows computer, so I guess I don’t understand the comparison.
I think even mac fans wouldn’t say that Mac is more controllable (i.e. configurable). They’d argue it is better because Apple has made the choices for you, so you don;t have to worry about (and they made better choice than you would). Now that I think about, it sounds like government central planning...
