Windows with Anti-Virus vs Mac without Anti-Virus

"The start menu is a joke. Some apps use folders, some dump right in "All Programs", utilities are in "Accessories->System Tools", etc. Its a cluster f**k of bloat"

And what happens when you install OSX apps. Last time I checked many programs have folders as well...quark, adobe suite..etc. So if you go into your hard drives and into your application folder, some have folders and some dont. Is this somehow any more consistent? Also in windows, only windows supplied tools go under 'accessories' so its not confusing at all. Nothing ever EVER changes in that folder. Also its not called "all program files". Not sure what version of windows you were using. LOL

Absolutely. My Applications Stack is totally useless (I really should just trash it). Spotlight is the only way to find an app, IMO.

Loves me some App Stack!

Some applications and suites have many components that can be run so a folder is created. If I install adobe suite, office and some other big packages, I certainly wouldnt want all that tossed in the root level. It makes more sense to group it...hence the folders that are created. Some do make it annoying though and do stuff like Company name>software package name>list of stuff. I think for those, software package name is enough but then again, thats up to the developer.

Also by no means is content in the start menu unchangable. You can drag stuff around if you wish. I change mine to my liking all the time.

I agree, it's horrible trying to find things in Program Files. Some are under the product name, others under nested in 2 or 3 folders named after the developer and publisher.



True, at least there's less on OS X, and it's generally either Apple's software or Microsoft's, and it's easy to uninstall.

What's that sound I hear?

I think the troll is full, folks. It's always fun to point out the flaws in their pointless attacks - as opposed to the posts of people who actually just prefer Windows and who can discuss valid reasons for doing so. But... after a while, it just makes us all look bad to continue pointing things out.
