As I've said before, people only think kindly of the PC because it sucks a lot less than it used to.
Maybe I was just lucky, but I went from DOS to Win3.1 to 95 to 98 (even a brief stint with ME) to 2000 to XP to Vista to 7, and I was always able to get what I needed to done without much trouble at all.
I like to think of it more as skill than luck, though.
