I thank everything holy ever in the universe for Apple computers. Not simply because they’re infinitely easier to use than a Windows computer, but because they put pressure on Windows OS to not-suck. Using Windows XP, it is amazing just how many simple things are impossible (e.g., printing to PDF, moving files [even within the same parent folder], changing preferences, screen shots, naming files, the list goes on and on).
Before Apple became a major player, Microsoft had no motivation to change its lumbering bear of a system, embodying the doctrine of ‘Why fix what aint available better?’ For the life of me, I cannot think of one benefit of running a Windows system that isn't related to the ubiquity of the OS itself. Go ahead. Dazzle me with one. See? Point proven.
