Windows 7! Who cares? Give me an Apple.
April 8th, 2008 by Demetrius
Alright, is there anyone out there that’s a Windows user from back in the day? I’m talking Windows 3.1 (or longer), to Vista (including Server, ISA, Exchange, etc).
I am. I loved PC’s because of MS at one point in time. As a kid born in 1980, Apples were cool, but, MS was my first true experience with the GUI.
Are you as sick and tired of Microsoft as I am? Well, Microsoft is at it again with Windows 7.
Now, I don’t have any reviews nor do I have anything really to report on the new Operating System. Why? Well, frankly because I really just don’t care to know.
I used to LOVE Microsoft! Now, I can barely stand them.
See, I bought a new Dell Desktop Dimension with Vista Home running last summer. My desktop and laptop are VITAL tools I use everyday to run my business. I knew all about the mixed reviews of how much Microsoft dropped the ball with Vista, but, I still believed in Windows.
Well, Vista turned out to be as horrible as Millennium Edition (Windows ME)! I barely use my desktop BECAUSE OF VISTA!
I just used my Thinkpad running Win XP Pro.
I RAN this laptop INTO THE GROUND!
Keys are missing, it won’t hold a charge, hard drive is failing…
..I just kept on using it. As long as it wasn’t Vista, it was good.
………………………….until it died two weeks ago.
And I had to buy another latop. 
I started checking out Apple. (Thanks to Dan and the people at the apple store in Christiana Mall!)
Started to love MORE about the Macbook Pro, Time Capsule, IPhone and IMac.
Looked at the prices……(DAMN!)
and had to settle for a Dell Vostro 1000 running Windows XP HOME!!!
It was $350, so, yeah, nice price for a small business owner.
BUT! I am SAVING up for ALL THOSE ITEMS!
Meanwhile, I will do those 1-hour-1-day-a-week-for-$100-per-yer training programs at the Apple Store to learn different about Apple products.
I’ve really had enough of Microsoft. Apple products are superior in terms of usability, stability, architecture & design.
So, yeah, unless Microsoft works some type of magic, I am done with Windows.
Enough bitching, time to go back to work.
