Windows Sucks

has everyone else lost important information when prompted by Windows to
update? I've lost my favorites, short cuts, you name it. I waste so much
time on my computer screwing around with Windows that I cannot even do what I
logged on for. What kind of system prompts you to update and then erases all
of your important data? When I call tech support I am either chatting with a
robot or a moron who cannot solve a problem and doesn't have a clue.

Just like the ads, have fun paying for a more expensive system. Then there's
the software [apps, games] that you'll miss that has a Windows version but
nothing for the Mac.

It's always a PEBKAC [person between keyboard and chair] issue. These
problems don't just happen with an update that has nothing to do a simple
update.

You'll probably get the same "robot" support from apple or elsewhere....

I have never had that happen with MS updated,I have had windows since
3.1. Perhaps you have a cleaning program that does that, CC cleaner will
do that if you are not careful.

Mr. Apple,

Having the exact same problem? Wow!

If you buy a car and never bother to properly maintain it, it will
eventually have problems. Same with Windows or any OS. Who's to blame?

What? You don't want to pay the "Apple Tax"?

Not with Linux. Apple and Micro$lut are to blame, of course!

Nor the Windows tax.
