OK, sorry - you wouldn't believe how many people we see here that lock onto something like this from Windows and find themselves disappointed that it isn't included with the Mac.

When I first tried a Mac back in the Mac Plus/SE days I missed Solitaire and freecell. Otherwise I missed nothing!

DITTO DITTO DITTO to that Katjamo!!!

ANd oh the slowness while antivirus is running

And taking 10+ mins to startup

And freezing for no reason

1. Disk Cleanup
2. Command Prompt
3. Internet Explorer
4. Task Manager
5. The Green Field

I just started using Mac too so this won't be 5 things yet.


1- Start up time. Good grief, there isn't even a comparison!!!
2- Adding/deleting programs. Could Mac have made it ANY easier, I mean really? I love drag and drop.
3- Not having Finder. At first I didn't like it but seriously, it has everything right there...I don't miss searching endlessly though folders any more.

1. Waiting ten minutes for Vista to finish loading (or whatever it's doing).
2. Being told there's a wireless network nearby, when I'm watching a movie.
3. Windows Genuine Advantage. (Shouldn't I put that in quotation marks?)
4. Drive letters (C:, D:, E:, F:, N:, U:, ...) and trying to remember which is which.
5. That annoying dog that appears whenever I search for something.

1. Frequent Program Crashing
2. BSOD
3. Startup time when not connected to the domain.
4. startup time period
5. Defrag, virus scans, and registry fixes.

1. Windows
2. Drivers
3. MS Word
4. Internet Explore
5. AV Software

1. AV Software
2. See #1
3. See #1
4. See #1
5. See #1

1. PowerPoint.
2. Anti-Virus Programs.
3. Pressing ten buttons to eject a thumb drive.
4. Internet Explorer.
5. The general ugliness of the operating system.

1. The need to start up, shut down, and restart all the time
2. Virus & spyware worries
3. Slow overall speed
4. Nothing works together very well.

To be fair, there are some things I DO miss about working with a PC and windows:

1. Low hardware costs
2. Availability of good freeware
3. Local availability of software
4. Familiarity of my favorite software (I'll get this back, in time)

One thing I learned from Apple was that it IS worth the money to pay for higher quality stuff.

1: The Registry
2: The Registry
3: The Registry
4: The Registry
5: The Registry

I am one of the few (only) who likes using both. I have never had any trouble with Vista. Go figure.

1. virus
2. VIRUS
3. virus
4. VIRUS
5. virus

1. Waiting for it all to load to go online.
2. Viruses, spyware,malware,exploits and crap built in windows firewall
3. Horrible looking UI. XP was ugly.
4. Non stable and secure OS
5. The work alone to maintain a windows system
6. This program is not responding
7. How things just dont work right
8. BSOD

I so totally hate Windows. I still have a Vista 64 bit machine and while i do use it and it runs ok, I love Apple and use my Mac for near everything.

Someone has clearly not been forced to use Lotus Notes

I would give anything to use Outlook over that.

I second this.... Lotus Notes stinks!

1. Patch Tuesday
2. Lost time waiting for AV app's to update, and AV scans to run
3. "This program is not responding..."
4. Hard reboots
5. Maintaining app's for AV, spyware, ad-ware, and mal-ware
6. Registry issues
7. Millions of running processes

Now that I've gone Mac, I'll never go back.
