I can't remember the last time I had to reboot my MacBook due to an unresponsive program. And I am by no means using the latest Apple hardware or software.
I am not an Apple fanboy (I used windows only up to a year ago), but the Apple user experience is orders ofagnitude greater than Windows' latest attempt. I suspect that the main difference stems from each company's design process. Apple has slowly built up all of their products and OSes, incrementally adding features only when they are rocksolid. Microsoft, especially lately with Windows 8, has sought entry into a new market (tablets/touch interfaces) and has hoped to skip all the intermidiate steps. This method is clearly inferior, and I won't be surprised when Windows 8 falls flat.
- pooriaazimi 14y agoJust a little note, dear NeXTSTEP: Please refrain from saying you're not an Apple fanboy, and in the next sentence stating that you're new to the Mac. You can be using Apple products for a week and be a fanboy. You can be a windows user (planning to buy Macs) and be a fanboy. Being a fanboy (= mindlessly defending the platform, no matter what) has nothing to do with longevity of which you're using that platform. It always reminds me of this: http://daringfireball.net/linked/2007/09/17/cuban http://daringfireball.net/linked/2007/09/17/cuban I'm an Apple user and love both platforms, and agree with what you said completely. I just think you're couple sentence are not appropriate. :)
