"The OS that thinks it knows what I want to do."

That is precisely what I despised about my one time use of an Apple computer.

The thing locked you out of most anything it thought you should not have access to. Was used to controlling my PC and then wham, you cannot do that. I could not tolerate an OS that knew better than you. Too much like democrats.

Yep,

As if they know whats best for you.

Try running multiple screens with Windows 8 or above.

“Just because I click on the Title bar doesn’t mean I want it displayed full screen”

And while I’m not an avid “Mobile user” their OS seems to be designed for a “Touch screen”.

Copy, Paste and save as functions take more steps than before. Nevermind where they go.

I’m on XP, and love the fact that I know where my stuff is and how to find it.

I like the idea that I can store tons of stuff locally, I can work on them locally and share them when I want too.

It’s getting to the point that you can hardly use any programs as a “Stand Alone” program.
