I'm going to put my perspective as well. I own both Windows and Apple Products. I have a home built Intel i7 990x PC system on Win7 and I have couple of iphones and Macbook Air and a Lenovo Win7 Laptop. Things I love about Macs and Iphones is that the user experience is very good. They have nice asthetics and form factors and very tightly integrated ecosystem. I never had any issues like crashing or anything with them and I love the facetime feature. I absolutely hate itunes. It boils my blood everytime when I use it. I don't worry too much about price tag. They spend a lot in research and development and their products may be costly but it's worth every penny in my opinion. The conditions in Foxconn has nothing to do with my user experience. Every single one of the chinese products is that way so I won't single out Apples.  Things I love about windows is that it's a cheap alternative to apple and I get a lot of free SW. However flip side is that the HW does not measure up with the standards. My lenovo has constant problems with the display and I paid $800 for it (I bought the Mac air for $1150). So for 350 more I'm getting a slightly better OS and better HW then the crappy Lenovo. But that has nothing with windows. So it's not a windows problem but a Lenovo problem in my opinion. And windows 7 is pretty stable except I always get weary when it updates. Once I updated the service pack and it never came back online. I later found out that the disk space ran out while it was trying to upgrade. That's a stupid mistake. Why can't windows check for disk space and warn the user before it upgrades rather than upgrade halfway and crash? It totally pissed me off and I had to restore the HDD image from older copy of windows (Using clonezilla). My iphone has always warned me of disk space before trying to update anything. So I believe this is windows only problem. So Windows is a little unpolished but it's cheap so can't complain much.  My i7 on win7 is pretty stable and only had few issues with them. But some of the SW that runs on Win7 is total crap. Like Movie Maker live. But that can be analogous with the crappy itunes. Has nothing to do with OS.  So all in all, I like both systems. I am more confident about Mac OX but there's a price to pay for that. Windows I have less confidence but I have all the tools to fix the PC problems by myself if needed.

1. Add a right click. Ok we get it, you want to be different, “simpler”, “easy”, whatever. People get the concept of Right clicking now, even Mac freaks. The double tap short cut is a lame substitute. my view:: i find two-finger-tap easier for rite click and much more quicker!!! 2.Photos - iPhoto >> total gibberish 12. For every major updates, you pay extra $100 or so on Mac. They simply assume you've money growing on the tree. I can't imagine Microsoft charging me for every service packs. FYI, Microsoft send all updates free of cost. my view:: u paid 100 dollar for major updates ??WTF of do u mean for the new OS!! as far as i remember windows 7 wasn't offered free too!!lol!! as a matter of fact updates are much easier and are frequently pushed to the users!! u still using windows xp service pack 1 ,2 ?? 3. Mac is NOT virus free. To be honest with you, if you keep up with Microsoft, Microsoft Windows is the most robust and highly fortified operating system that exist in the world today. All those reports that you see about Windows being the most vulnerable is because it's the most pirated one as well. And in the grey market it sells at the price of onion. They don't update their OS and it's a known fact, all the crackers target those unpatched system and it becomes a news. In addition, many legimately bought OS don't get patched. You can't blame someone for your idiocy. Mac is now becoming the most vulnerable system. my view:: who said Mac is virus free lol!!! steve jobs ? "Microsoft Windows is the most robust and highly fortified operating system that exist in the world today" i bet u wrote that while tripping!! last time i checked *nix was still the best and secure system!! "Mac is now the most vulnerable system" ??? some articles that backs up ur statement wud be nice and btw PC doesnt mean Windows only!! u might wanna check on that!!! (blame on that mac advert!!) "Macs are DIFFERENT than PCs. Better than Sony"" LOL i thought sony came with windows too!! are u comparing them on hardware basic? i thoght it was between MAC vs Microsoft!!! anyways none of ur points made sense to me!! m done feeding the troll!!! hf!! peace!!

@fountaindew, that was the honest comment I've read in this entire thread. MOST of other comments were immature enough for me to not pay even a slight bit of my precious attention. :D  I can delete all those BS comment right on my thread, but I don't want to leave them with bad feelings. Thanks for your comment fountain.

pepsi, sorry for my wrong assumption. Well, I'm not sure but just guessing, he didn't do much with the regular updates.

alece, so far I scrolled through up, I didn't see anywhere me attacking personally anyone 'here'. I don't know why you are personally attacking me like "it!! u can fix ur crappy voice with auto-tune!!" / "did ur porn app got rejected " / "m done feeding the troll!!! hf!!" Do you know me? Do I know you?? How did you presume all those things about me without knowing me? Is that how you throw your decision at others? I don't believe anything whatever you say now on since you are quick at jumping on making remarks without thinking. I don't understand what your problem is and yeah, I consider it immature opinion. I'm firm on saying 'Mac is Crap'. I didn't say you are a crap. All apple workers consider Bill Gates, their archrival a devil, I remark them as 'jackass' . I stand tall on what I say to them. And the way you are scrutinizing every line of my conversation, what to say.. you think that yourself.. and yeah, I don't have any problems with getting criticisms on what I think but maintain your level. Thanks.
