OSX doesn't self-destruct like over time Windows, I'd hope?

[QUOTE="Kokopelli, post: 196187"] The Windows slowdown does not happen to everyone, maybe not even most. The slowdown of Windows for "power" users does happen often enough that it is almost a meme on some boards though. To deny that this occurs to a large audience in the Windows world seems odd. I image my drives and go back periodically as needed. I am not an expert in Windows systems but I am also a far cry from an amateur. Windows has its purposes and advantages, but it is not without its flaws. Slowdown due to cruft is a fairly well acknowledged phenomena on Windows. This phenomena does not appear to happen on the Mac, nor on *nix in general, Why this is I do not know, hazarding a guess I would say a better file system and the absense of the dreaded registry. Macs have their disadvantages as well, particularly in the gaming arena. [/QUOTE]
