I know at times we "all" yell and scream at our Macs when things seem to be getting all weird and something simple as a restart fixes it but we sometimes think even that is too much trouble. Sometimes we even complain about certain features Apple put in Leopard.
Well today I realized that I do sometimes take my awesome Mac OS X computer for granted.
I just downloaded a short film from the web and it was a zipped file so I unzipped it and it was a .EXE file. So I fired up VMware Fusion and started up XP and dragged the file over to Windows.
I got an install screen for some reason and then it said, "YOUR GAME IS INSTALLING", what game?, it was a movie clip.
Then when I declined the install another messaged popped up saying, "THANKS FOR INSTALLING OUR TOOLBAR". I couldn't do anything about that and then after all of this a message popped up in the bottom right corner saying, "You've just installed Spyware on your computer and your computer is no longer safe".
I didn't realize how much I love Mac OS X for not giving me such a horrible experience as in Windows. People say Windows has gotten better but nothing has changed.
Anyone else sometimes take their Mac for granted?
