I use Windows 7 at work and iMac at home along with iPhone and iPad. I want to punch my screen in at least twice a day on my work PC. I’m amazed at the comments here. How about the annual flush your Windows PC hard drive and start over routine.

Apple is, to my mind, krufty.

Lion killed me. I have been a semi-enthusiastic Mac user with windows and linux in my life also. Having a bsd based system is nice. But Apple seems to be getting more talented at finding the most obscure manner to get in the way of what I want to do … getting rid of Spaces would be my first thought. Reverse scrolling the second. Ad nauseam …

I totally agree with this perspective. It’s like a bunch of high school students are making upgrades. Nothing is intuitive about the design. I found this page because I cannot remember how to add a new album. The “Help” is useless. Drag and drop doesn’t work, even though it appears to be doing the right thing. This is just the tip of the iceberg. Apple has become increasingly frustrating to me. Don’t even get me started on iTunes and my iPhone… holy living f…k!

Clearly you don’t need a 443rd person to tell you this, but Windows 7 just works. Forget Windows 8, or Vista, or whatever. It works. Ice Cream Sandwich works. Just come back to us. We’ll take you back.

I am ready to scream. Wasting SO much time trying to move my business from PC to Mac – it’s been over a month now and I’m still using both. Contacts from Outlook – forget it, not working at all even after hours, literally hours, of massaging the data. And that’s just the tip of the iceberg. Not an apple fan, sorry.

It’s 2013. Everyone and their dog has thousands of pictures, not just professionals. Aperture is for pros, correct, but that means iPhoto should be for everyone else. Hell Windows Picture viewer still manages to search through a crapton of pictures without freezing up. If you have a program that is inadequate for the job, you should have just left the job to finder, spotlight and preview.

Since when was it Apple’s problem when they give you .mp3 files anyway?
