A checklist!  I love checklists.

I had to intermittently backup everything and reinstall the OS to make it usable again. n00b
I had to deal with either no anti-virus (I caught conficker because of this) or enjoy AVgs nagging to update and restart n00b
I got tired of not being able to encode video in any of the open source encoders and still play my online games who the heck knows what you did wrong there
I was frustrated with WGA, "Sorry Billy, yes I pirated this version, now be a good boy and SMB and get the Fuck off my machine!" pirate
I hated the games for windows having OS locks (can run on xp, but won't without a crack, ie. Halo 2) and no, Apple and devs make sure that even some new apps run  in Panther. "some," ha.

i didn't migrate to mac to have someone nagging me that windows is better

Windows isn't better, nor is Mac.  You have a preference, and I have a preference.  Your preference is obvious, my preference isn't necessarily Microsoft though I chose their side on this one.  Coming onto a forum with "haaha looks like M$ screwed up again," like a silly little Mac fanboi however, is asking for rebuttal, or at least a little name-calling.  ..and I'm all out of chewing gum, or something.

Here is something you do not understand:

A very small amount of people know how computers work, beyond "press buttan, reccev porno".

A very small amount of people actually want to.
I understand that perfectly, and rest assured, even those people will have the problem fixed.

The reason that you have to pay for new OSX operating system releases, is that they are new operating system releases.
Only because Steve Jobs needed some spending money.  It's still OSX, they just picked the "pay for play" route.  Want to use OSX for 10 years? You're going to buy it a few times and spend alot more than you'd pay for XP.

I love the service pack model. "lets release lots of tiny minor insignifcant fixes constantly, but anything important can wait for a couple of year while we build it into a 2GB monstrosity of a patch that basically replaces the entire OS install and takes forever to download".
Obviously you don't know what a service pack is.  It's a rollup of those "tiny minor fixes," bundled into one for convenience, just like Apple does.  Sure, they usually add something different to make it worth doing the rollup and rollout, but most of it is old work repackaged to save time.
