It's a lot easier to remove all the junk from OSX.
It sounds like you haven't seen a brand new Windows machine in awhile. They are cluttered beyond belief. The OSX clutter, in comparison, is unnoticeable.
The other nice thing about OSX though is that the migration tools have always been totally painless for me - when I get a new mac I DON'T have to go remove that stuff because it saves my settings automatically. I haven't had to remove the clutter since my first MacBook in like 2006 - the settings were carried over. In Windows this rarely works, and when it does it takes a lot of work and doesn't do a complete job.
- potatolicious 16y agoTo be fair, a clean retail Windows install is just as clean as OSX. The clutter comes from shitty bundleware. This is, IMHO, one of MS's greatest struggles - it is not enough for Microsoft to develop a culture of top notch user experiences, but also all third party OEMs. This is a problem that Apple does not contend with. We see this with Windows phone also - no amount of software and UI can save a device designed and manufactured with rock bottom quality.
