A major reason why Windows sucks big time


You have to get past the "extras"

"The problem is a lack of respect for the consumer. The manufacturers don't act as if the computer belongs to you. They act as if it is a billboard for restricted trial versions of software and ads for Web sites and services that they can sell to third-party companies who want you to buy these products."

"I'm distinguishing these programs, sometimes called "craplets," from the full-featured, built-in Sony software meant to enhance the computer, or from entire, useful programs Microsoft builds into Windows, such as music and photo organizers."
Walter S. Mossberg, Using Even New PCs Is Ruined by a Tangle of Trial Programs, Ads, Personal Technology, April 5, 2007

As I have said before, Apple is selling the user experience. Hardware and software are secondary to that.

Your computer should belong to you, not the company that manufactured it or the company that provides the operating system.
