Oh, but Microsoft Windows is worse. I can handle the stuff Apple asks for (which is nothing yet. I still haven't been asked if I do want .Mac/try it out yet. I just went through the one screen after setup and that was it).
Windows here's what I hate:
Internet Explorer is faulty. Why don't they ship FireFox with it if they could get Mozilla to let them do it?
The updates keep asking you if you want to install them every 5 minutes. This gets annoying playing a game.
The notification windows/how to turn them off can be hidden most of the time so you can't figure out how to get the balloons to go away.
MSN Explorer is on the install by default (found this one out by seeing in hidden in my Program Files folder).
No smart defrag. You're files get all defragged in Windows. Mac OS X automatically defrags files.
Spyware is massive on Windows, you just can't get rid of it. Microsoft puts spyware automatically on there, its called Windows Media Players - Spy Bot S&D destroyes keys it makes, but they come back.
Windows has lots and lots of security issues, but waits until its a massive problem before they fix them. Mac OS X comes out with a fix as soon as they can, because they don't want a bigger problem.
The support for Windows PC's cost $50 a minute at least. I've went to Microsoft.com looking for support and found none.
Microsoft doesn't support AFP without third party software. I want to connect to my Apple shares sometimes, but I can't because of that limitation. At least OS X can read and write to NTFS volumes.
Microsoft has programs that automatically add to the registry - msn messenger and windows messenger - so they startup whenever you turn on your computer.
Microsoft doesn't support HFS and HFS+ volumes. Come on, Mac OS X has support for FAT12, FAT16, FAT32, EXT, etc.
Firewire 800 is supported on OS 9.2, Mac OS X. Although Windows XP does not support it without thirdparty stuff.
List can go on, but I'll stop.
Sorry, but I feel that the .Mac is the least of Mac OS X's worries when Windows has the bigger issues. I don't mean to flame you here, just showing you why Mac OS X will always be better.
