well, i still have to work with XP for 36 - 48 hours a week at work, so there are things that crop up occasionally that i think to myself "at least my mac doesn't do THAT!" of course windows does lots of things very well and there are a couple of things it does do that i miss (multiple file rename in explorer!). but those things aren't what this is about...
what are your top 5 windows annoyances that you are thankful for not having to deal with while using a mac?
mine:
- windows wants so much for my default font to be "new times roman". i hate new times roman. and despite my best efforts to make everything default to arial, it still creeps in somehow...
- the little task bar notification area. never really works the way you want it to - so annoying!
- i know it's not stock with windows, but it is with office... outlook is one of the most bloated, over-complicated tools i've ever seen.
- add remove programs. need i say more?
- of course... BSOD
dishonorable mention - windows live update. feh!
