...I just happen to think that the Mac OS sucks. I don't love Windows; I just hate it less than I hate the Mac OS.
Sure, it's pretty, but all of the low-level stuff I use day in and day out is buried. I don't want to go digging for the PING tool; I want to click on the command prompt on my taskbar and type in PING. And so on...
I'm still running Windows 2000 on five of my six machines. It has all of the functionality I need without any of the annoying "big brother" stuff that was added to XP and Vista. My lone Vista machine came with that OS and doesn't have drivers for earlier versions of Windows or I'd have stripped that bloated pig off a long time ago.
I've spent a lot of time with both OS X and the last 7 versions of Windows, and the Mac OS just isn't an operating system for grownups.
