Windows Sucks

has everyone else lost important information when prompted by Windows to
update? I've lost my favorites, short cuts, you name it. I waste so much
time on my computer screwing around with Windows that I cannot even do what I
logged on for. What kind of system prompts you to update and then erases all
of your important data? When I call tech support I am either chatting with a
robot or a moron who cannot solve a problem and doesn't have a clue.

Good riddance to the Seattle Clunker aka Microsoft! Bill Gates, get a new
job.

BYE!

Just like the ads, have fun paying for a more expensive system. Then there's
the software [apps, games] that you'll miss that has a Windows version but
nothing for the Mac.

It's always a PEBKAC [person between keyboard and chair] issue. These
problems don't just happen with an update that has nothing to do a simple
update.

You'll probably get the same "robot" support from apple or elsewhere....

I have never had that happen with MS updated,I have had windows since
3.1. Perhaps you have a cleaning program that does that, CC cleaner will
do that if you are not careful.

Mr. Apple,

Having the exact same problem? Wow!

If you buy a car and never bother to properly maintain it, it will
eventually have problems. Same with Windows or any OS. Who's to blame?

What? You don't want to pay the "Apple Tax"?

You can always buy a netbook. Seems Microsoft is only charging manufacturers
$14 for a copy of Win XP Home on a netbook. So the remaining $335 or a $350
netbook is from the manufacturer.
