Hello everyone,
Very new to the forums. I'll get straight to the point. I have used PCs my whole life and like many of you have seen them evolve. On my current machine I run Windows 7 64bit. I'm very happy with it. I also build my own pcs.
Recently during a format and reinstall a small question began nagging at me. Why do I have to do this every 6 months to a year? Why do I have to do this to keep my machine snappy? This nagging question has grown more persuasive and started a serious debate about switching to mac.
My interest in Mac hinges on two things:
1. The idea that Macs don't have a registry to muck up, and the total contents of an application are contained inside ONE folder. To uninstall that program you simply trash the folder and you're done. No leftovers. Nothing.
2. The idea that with ONE install of a Mac OS (not including upgrades of course) a mac will run the same way 5 years from the first power up.
My considering switching is based on these two things. I want a stable and responsive platform for my family that will last a long long time. If any of you can confirm, verify, and expand on the two above mentioned assumptions of macs I would greatly appreciate it. Thank you.
