    Back to topic, apparently my idea of "consumer satisfaction" is very different from Apple's.

      582,000 windows problems when adjusted for amt of time since release (75days snowleopard - 25 days windows7)
      but that # will probably increase exponentially as more people upgrade..

      meh.. fun with statistics.. this could go back&forth all year long πŸ˜„

              You're absolutely right, Jeff. Saying that something "rocks" is not as common as saying that you "love" something. Now, if again you could adjust this for official release time of each OS, meaning the number for Windows 7 must be multiplied by 3... πŸ˜†

                  [fwiw, snow leopard isn't a major OS update.. it's just a fine tuned version of leopard (core level) with only a couple of new features.. it only costs like 25 bucks or something]

                  most of the problems probably have to do with broken software and that's why i always wait a while to upgrade.. gotta wait til the software people update on their end..

                      Now this is surprising, I would have thought Bill gates was as hated as Bin Laden, looks like Stevie boy has won this one.

                                I use both Windows and Mac. Both are equally annoying at the best of times. Mac's workflow imho is better than Windows, but Windows allows for more design software to be run.

                                I saw this interesting remark from Bill Gates the other day. You may find it interesting! πŸ˜„

                                ...and yes, there is nothing as boring as a Mac vs PC debate, but aren't they so much fun?! πŸŽ‰

                                  So both crash, both have problems, but when something is more expensive, somehow it tastes better:

                                  And thanks for that link. It's totally true, if it were not for Steve Jobs, the only Apple company we would know today would be Apple Corps . Steve is also partly responsible for the success of my favorite movie studio, Pixar.

                                    Don't get me wrong either, I think Steve Jobs is essential for the industry, he is the reason Windows 7 is a success as competition drives results, and as for the smart phones, he was the first to take it to a higher level (but lets not forget the pioneers RIM's Blackberry)which has now pushed other manufacturers to compete as well as service providers to up their game in order to tap into this market.

                                        In September I took my last Mac hardware to the recyclers. There was nothing wrong with the faithful old workhorse - it only wasn't useful to anything any more. Everything has moved into the Internet, and there is no working browser for pre-OSX computers. Also, no USB.

                                        The main reason of not buying a new Mac was the appalling lack of forward and backward compatibility. None of my old software would have run in a new mac. I was mostly quite happy with the functionality of the old versions of things I was using. For the most important of them I had over the years acquired PC versions too, as I had got a PC to be compatible with my work environment.

                                        For a new Mac I would have had to buy new versions of all the software I was accustomed to using. My PC still runs happily some old software that originates from two or three generations of Windows back (like my Freehand, dated 1995)

                                        My daughter grew up with Macs, and she now uses an Imac. We were both fans of Appleworks, but to get her files from her old computer to Iwork in OS X, I had to locate and buy a discontinued OSX version of Appleworks too, and if I hadn't found that, her old work might have been lost.

                                        Anssi
