Well the Mac Mini is the same age as the laptop in question. Early 2009. Windows 7 was released mid-2009.

  This is kind of a nitpick. I can come back at you and moan about TRIM support on a 3rd party SSD in that same Mac Mini - no problem in that Windows 7 laptop. That's about equally relevant.

  Having gone thru a nightmare trying to upgrade a Mac Mini to Mavericks - obscure error messages, things that "just don't work", and search results leading to forum posts that said "The problem went away when I took out the PNY RAM and put back in the Apple OEM RAM", I'm a little more hostile toward Apple products than I am to the "Wintel" environment. *In the end we wound up buying a new Mac Mini. We needed Mavericks for website testing.

    On the other hand, I had no trouble upgrading 2007 MacBook Pros to Mavericks, even with third-party hard drives and RAM. Your nightmare experience is certainly not representative.

    I've always had issues (and pleasantness) using any OS whether it was Macs, Windows, iOS, or Android. I don't really believe that one operating system is better than another in a general sense. At this point they are all way better than what we had even just 5 years ago.
