Windows is buggy and slow lets buy a Mac

Quite frankly Xp like most of Windoze OS's was a bit of a dog at first but over time it's developed and IMHO, one hell of a good OS these days. Sure you get the odd useless errors but everything is easy to work on and is so frugal with it's hardware.

Vista was utter s***e to put it bluntly, but thankfully has been replaced with 7 which I hear isn't a bad OS, though is still power hungry.

NT was another good bit of work from Bill if you ask me.

You're dead right I don't think about anything other than turning on, using and turning off my MacBook. Why should I have to think about anything else? When I'm using my Mac for writing my dissertation, researching something for use in clinic, viewing and annotating handouts during a lecture or seminar, or any number of other taxing tasks, I don't want to have to think about what my computer is doing or why. I want my OS to leave me alone while I'm working, and OS X does that.

What the hell is hard about just waiting 20 seconds for a computer to shut down? If someone buys a Mac OS just over this basis then they need their head seeing to if you ask me.

Oh and games for Mac? That's a joke in itself if you ask me, why by a system that doesn't allow you to let off steam once in a while (or at-least very limited).

Who shuts down their computer anymore anyway?  Between sleep/suspend and hibernation, my systems rarely get an actual reboot.  Did Apple ever get hibernation working on their systems?  I only remember seeing them use sleep mode.

Precicely, mine is only shut down overnight (sometimes) and/or if im away for more then a day. If in sleep mode, mine takes 10 - 20 secs to wake up which is a damn sight quicker then I can wake up.
