If you are satisfied with Windows, fine. However saying you've
never had a problem with Windows suggests your use has been quite
casual.


I'm a constant user. Before I retired I worked in many IT positions
including a Windows network administrator and technician. I'm pretty
fanatical about maintaining all the computers in our home. If you
learn how to avoid problems, you don't generally have problems.

There are MANY serious Windows users who have virtually no problems -
and perhaps as many 'Nix users who have had a LOT of problems (and
have given up on the OS)

The current Apple OS is basically a 'Nix distro underneath. When my
wife worked at Health Services at Laurier U, they used Mac Medical,
while I administered a Windows network. The Mac system was down MANY
times while the Windows system was virtually rock solid.
