[QUOTE="vansmith, post: 1614799, member: 71075"] I get the feeling that part of this is a mixture of sampling and confirmation bias (not a criticism - we all do it). There are a lot of people out there who have installed Windows without issue (including yours truly in a VM) and had terrible experiences with Yosemite (see the plethora of discussion topics here). I'm not discrediting your own experience but it works on both sides. ;) There's also nothing wrong with patches. Say what you might about the litany of patches that get released by MS but at least they do release them in a timely fashion, unlike the glacier-esque speed that Apple releases patches (see [URL="http://voices.washingtonpost.com/securityfix/2009/05/apple_is_slow_to_fix_java_flaw.html"]here[/URL] and [URL="http://www.sfgate.com/business/article/Apple-slow-to-send-fix-for-Flashback-virus-on-Macs-3484067.php"]here[/URL] for example). That's not to discredit, again, your experience however. [/QUOTE]
