Hi everyone!
If you think it is bad under MS (which it is, granted), it is not much better
under Apple. They own your computing experience. Granted, their products have
an edge on quality and user friendliness, but you have little freedom. If it is
not Apple approved then you cannot install it or plug it in or develop it or
sell it. And if they decide to ignore a problem (even a hardware one) then you
are stuck. It took months and several fires before Apple did anything about one
of their laptop’s batteries — and it was not a very consumer-friendly
resolution. The customer had to jump through hoops to get a replacement (and it
may not have been free, either).
My point is that neither Microsoft nor Apple are “the best” at consumer
satisfaction. Depending on your needs and expectations, one of them would be
the least painful choice.
As far as I am concerned, the best experience comes from choosing Linux. You
have so many choices there and it is all mostly free. The community support is
(usually) second to none in responding to questions and problems. It is not
ideal but it is getting better every year. You can even run many Linux distros
using a USB pen or CD so that nothing touches your actual system. No need to
worry about viruses, malware, crapware, etc. When you shutdown your computer,
your system is back to its pristine state the next time you boot it up. You can
run most Windows applications using WINE (free) or Crossover
(http://www.codeweavers.com/products/; $59.95), but you will need very few
Windows products because people have created Linux equivalents for most things
from email programs to high-end graphic designs (competing with Adobe
Photoshop) and they are all free.
Is everything perfect in Linux? No, of course not — nothing is perfect in any
of the different camps. Is it better to pay $$$ for Windows or Apple’s OSX and
have horrible bugs and major security gaps, or be forced into a horrible
interface (Windows 8)? Do I want to pay a lot more for an Apple computer and
then be forced to buy overpriced Apple-approved products for such? Or is it
better to try something like one of the many Linux distros (some even look and
act like Windows, but without the hassles).
We have choices.
Have a wonderful weekend!

you and those costumers are very lucky...... MS essentials has some of the
biggest bloopers on going and no fix found to date...... do a google search and
see what comes up... it started a few months back with some screwed up up dates
and then wont allow any updates to it nor can you remove it or repair and if
you do succeed in removing it then cant get it to re-install..... I dumped it
and now find windows defender is back in gear.... am using win7 64 bit... but
then have to ask... where is MSEE on win 8.... nope.. not used and cant install
it there it uses windows defender....try and talk to anyone at MS by real time
phone and you end up with MUMBAI...... and they have no idea whatsoever as to
what is.. the MS VIP tech's all say go see MS.... I dumped it as it wont allow
me to reinstall plus the weird update screw up made some changes to the
services settings... big one was the windows installer service... set it to
stopped..... and again... no idea why that happened...... all this came about
when MS went to their lookout any day and time updates and you get them even
tho settings may say only download and not install..... some of the updates had
to be installed one at a time in D/L and install... then restart and next one
D/L and install....and that was by MS tech advice...... . and I sure as heck
aint the only one with the problem.... do the google search and will be one
ginat messed up eye opener..... it isvery disappointing as I was an early user
and did think highly of it... now...... add win 8 to the facotrs... and
fore.... MS sucks.... garbage trash junk.... with win 8 you have no ownership
on your pc..... MS owns you in all ways....... slow but sure am seriously
looking at apple chuck...in Ok

haven’t seen any problems with it on my many customers computers, so I will
continue to install unless I get some problems,
It works fine for me also.
