Reply #11: Sorry, but when MS has to start shelling out the patches and updates [View All]

[MadHound]

A week after they debut a new OS, it looks pretty crappy in my book. Sure, any computer needs maintenence once in a while, but I keep seeing MS patches and updates for the desktop boxes at work on a monthly basis or more. No OS should have to be patched and upgraded on a monthly basis.

One of the many reasons I like Macs is that unlike Windoze machines, you work with a Mac, not on it. I don't have a firewall, I run a defrag and Disk Doctor once every month or two, and it just keeps chugging along. I've run a virus sweep twice in the two years I've had the machine. Upgraded to Jaguar about six months or so ago, never have had to do any patches or other such fixes ever on any Mac that I've owned.

Sorry, but Windoze boxes are plagued with problems and a bloated, inelegant OS.
