The 360, RRoD, E70, MS Points, etc.
Vista, crashes, BSoD, Load time, etc.
Zune and other failures
You LIKE them?
I hate how Microsoft never officially apologized for the "disc read error". They could have atleast given us an extended warranty for it. But instead they still continue to deny it ever happened. For shame Sony....er, I mean Microsoft

i wont read through the entire thread, but i find it sad how microsoft has pretty much failed to profit from every project not directly tied to their operating system or office suite.
msn, zune, xbox...
bing will likely crash and burn too
The most annoying thing are the virusses, crashes (damn the blue screen), moves slow like shit in comparion to mac or linux.But where is windows good at, at games, none of linux or mac, has so many games that run fairly stable.
Unless you're using a version of Windows from ten years ago, you shouldn't experience crashes or "blue screens of death," at least not regularly enough to complain about it. I've used Windows and Mac computers equally, on a daily basis since 2003 and they both crash on occasion.
The whole "Windows is a glitchy mess that constantly crashes" argument hasn't been relevant since 2002. Today, both operating systems are so similar that one isn't vastly superior to the other. When Windows 7 and OS X 10.6 (Snow Leopard) come out this fall, the gap will be even narrower.
Regarding viruses, again, I use Windows computers every day and I never get a virus. Why? Because I don't open strange attachments or visit shady web sites. I also don't download torrents or files from peer-to-peer networks. In other words, I'm careful and smart about the way I operate my computers.
It's like driving a car: if you don't know what you're doing and start driving off the road and doing all sorts of inappropriate things, you'll crash and damage the car, but if you obey the rules and watch where you're going and drive carefully, you'll be fine.
Regarding "moving slow," you're right: Vista runs slowly on a computer from 2003...but so do Mac OS X 10.4 and 10.5. Try running "Tiger" or "Leopard" on a Mac G4 from 2003. You'll want to pull your hair out before long.
Actually, I have a G4 from 2000 which I upgraded to a 1 GHz processor and 1 gig of RAM (not exactly high end by any means or even close to the low end iMacs today) and it runs Tiger blazingly fast. Although I use both a PC and a Mac on a regular basis, I still think there are some significant advantages to OSX and the Mac platform in general. The virus issue is huge and you would be surprised how elaborate and devious some of them have become on the PC, even for a super careful user. Windows also seems to break itself more frequently than OSX, especially if you are installing or removing software. There have been several times where I have been forced to reinstall Windows or major components as a result of legitimate software uninstalling itself and taking some critical files with it. Simple things like having a license from Adobe to make PDFs in most major Mac applications is super useful. I also just generally prefer the interface.
You are correct though that neither platform really crashes on a regular basis anymore. Still, having overseen large editing and graphics suites used for daily television production with both Mac and PC systems, the Mac still seems to have the edge in overall stability.
That's weird. One of the computers I use is a 2 GHz G5 iMac from 2005 with 1 GB of RAM, running OS 10.4, and it's torture for me. Then again, I'm not using the iMac for simple home use, I use it for web and print production and run Photoshop, QuarkXPress, Excel, etc. simultaneously.
I agree. OS X's Preview program is very handy for creating and converting PDFs.
I agreed with you until OS X 10.4. I thought 10.0-10.3 looked great. The subtle pinstripes looked clean and sleek. But the brushed-metal look in 10.4 looks horrible and now with 10.5, everything is just chunky solid gray, reminiscent of the old GeoWorks DOS GUI. I hate it and think, for once, Windows actually looks much prettier and sleeker (Vista and Windows 7).
Windows never profited money ever! One this generations greatest failures! Microsoft?!? More like Microsuck! sucks balls..... Cause they suck! Yeah! They likely spent windows development money on blowjobs , Bill gates looks like he took it in the face. Im pretty sure he owns a mac to ichat with dudes that will rub one out for him!
