"lately" is the operative term in this case. We also haven't talked about the difference between optimal and acceptable performance- what do you expect out of your Atom box and will Win 7 work any better on a stronger machine?- I sure hope so.
Windows has "moods", it also is clumsy in general operation compared to Mac.
I have no idea what you're talking about with most of this. Inanimate objects don't have 'moods'. People with tech biases certainly do though.
I've long noted the irony: the hardware and machines actually get along great, Macs and PCs. It's the users that are moody, illogical, inconsistent creatures that are sometimes difficult to work with.
As a windows user, how often do you want to start from scratch and reinstall just to restore speed?
Virtually never. This is just another tired old myth. It's not really all that hard to maintain most any modern computer, weather it runs OSX, Windows 7 or various flavors of Linux. Arguing all the time that one is infinitely superior to the others is largely just due to personal preference and bias, rarely hard facts.
Conversely to the old 'Windows needs to be reinstalled' all the time myth, I've seen Macs that run like total ****, and the owners too ignorant to even know
how to reinstall them (which
would restore the Mac to proper working order) because they believe in some ******** 'it just works!' rather than simply learn that virtually any computer can benefit from an OS refresh
if it needs it. Again, it's not strictly a PC or Mac thing.
How many BSOD's do you encounter, or just random bugginess? How many defrags do you do in hopes it speeds up your machine?
None. BSODs are almost virtually always hardware problems, but using quality hardware I don't encounter them anymore than the average Mac user encounters Kernel Panics.
I probably should, but I virtually never defrag my hard drives on any platform. Haven't seen any performance difference really. Again, this probably used to be a bigger issue than it currently is.
Like I said, unless you seriously have some heavy hardware it ain't gonna run right- because Windows is bloated.
zzz!
Sorry, but that's just fanboi ignorance. Like I said, Windows 7 runs just fine on an old Atom netbook- that is, it's snappy, runs all applications just fine, and is enjoyable to use. If it were bloated, it wouldn't run well at all on such low end hardware. Of course things will be even faster on beefier hardware, but again, that's just common sense and true of either platform. It's like me claiming a MacBook is worthless because it won't crunch video as fast as a stacked MacPro.
Windows Vista WAS bloated, I'll give you that, and pretty much everyone with any computing knowledge hated it. But Win 7 is pretty damned good.
Once more, just repeating the same old falsehoods over and over and over doesn't make them true. You're the flip side of people that insist: MAC SUCKS! MACS R SLO!!! over and over, despite mountains of evidence to the contrary. Do you really think your 'arguments' are any more effective just because your particular bias is against Windows?
