[QUOTE="Logan, post: 249795"] I'm a linux fan myself, it fits my preferences and desires quite well, it definitely isn't the solution for everyone however. I find myself using OS X more and more due to the fact it's so easy I don't have to think (for this reason it's what i suggset to friends, especially the ones who don't WANT to learn computers). Windows is great due to compatibility but I personally hate it's structures and qualities that make it different. The thing it has going is it's compatibility and support with the market. The pricing however, overall quality of software and integrated hardware (repair, technical support, etc) is low profile. Let's say this much, if I were to be a full time technician, I'd want to do it on a windows-based environment and not mac or linux. Why? I would still have a job after a year of maintaince. :P Sounds like you have had some bad experiences with OS X, but no matter what you're running you hit problems from time to time. Your story is kind of depressing that you have stability problems with your mac.. I turn mine on and leave it on for a half a month without a single problem. Same with linux. I prefer all my browsing on a mac over a PC now any time. Spyware and Adware is designed for Windows. All those pesky viruses you find as epidemics for norton are windows based. :) You being unable to disable the sweedish support on a piece of software shouldn't make you hate macs, that would be like Microsoft Word being unable to autocorrect your spelling errors and you therefore hate windows. On a side note, don't go to a mac forum and bluntly bash the product. There's a lot of things I dislike about windows, but I'll never say "DOWN WITH WINDOWS!". All you're gonna do with that talk is ruffle some feathers. [/QUOTE]
