I use both Mac and Windows on a daily basis - Mac at work, Windows at home. I've lost count of the amount of issues I've had with my PC since I started using Windows 10. Windows may be 'adding features' but the biggest thing they seem to be adding to the OS is bugs.
Seems every few weeks I'm having to use sfc /scannow or dism /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth to fix some OS issue.
A couple of days ago on my PC my WiFi randomly stopped working when I was in the middle of something. No problem I thought... I'll run the Network Adapter troubleshooter. "One or more network protocols are missing on this computer". What the? Was working perfectly a moment ago now Windows has deleted a network protocol? Guess I'll let the troubleshooter do it's thing... at which point it said something along the lines of Failed to repair the problem.
Okay... guess I'll try tethering via my iPhone to look up a solution to this. Nope, same issue with the newly installed iPhone network interface was completely non-functional too. Great.
Tried half a dozen proposed solutions without any luck. After about half an hour of googling on my phone I finally found some obscure registry entry fix, tried it, ran a command to reset the winsock protocols via cmd.exe rebooted my computer for about the 6th point by this time... and it finally worked again.
I genuinely can't remember the last time something went wrong with my Mac.
Who gives the fck about Windows anymore once he/she uses a Mac? One thing I hate the most: people point out things on my computer screen by touching their finger on my screen. How many times you have that at work and how annoying is that? That's why I don't like a hybrid device and never buy one.
I genuinely can't remember the last time something went wrong with my Mac.
Really? What a short memory people seem to have.
Only the other day Apple issued a silent update that broke Ethernet connectivity for many of us Mac users and in fact a couple of articles down you will see it reported.
Apple is more than capable of introducing bugs as much as the next software manufacturer and I for one see little difference between Apple & Microsoft these days with regard to software stability coming from either company.
Now bugs as virii on the other hand...well that's another matter but lets not lose sight of the fact that there have been many software issues that Apple themselves have caused.
I mean for me Search in Notes that has worked without problems has now reached a point where it will not find something that I can see in the first few lines in a list and don't get me started on keyboard shortcuts that don't propagate correctly between my Mac, MacBook Pro & MacBook Air let alone iPhone, iPad etc.
What's amazing about ads like this, is that MS is comparing itself against a minority platform. What is it worldwide, something like 90% MS to less than 10% for Apple?
Or isn't marketshare all that important any longer?

There are many, many more.

Not everyone uses Ethernet port nowadays. You read too much in AI blog and maximize the issue. Tell me if people own more Mac than Macbook and of those Mac, how many actually have a router next to them for plunging?
WOW! Really Microshaft?! Ummmm , Apple did this Mac Vs. PC thing like 15 years ago!
Has microshaft even created their own hardware other than a ghetto phone, and Surface tablet. When will Micorshaft compare laptop to laptop ? Oh that's right, they don't have one except for Surface of my bawls convertible tablet. Compare desktop to desktop? Ooops, I've NEVER seen a MS desktop. EVER......
Nice try microshaft, keep riding apple's coattails!
This is hysterical!!! I own both Mac's and PC's and your statement is wayyyyyyyyy off!! Apple is always behind in innovation pal!!! The Surface Pro and Surface Book are wonderful machines!! Have you used any of them? My guess is you haven't... Truth be told, the Surface Pro is a machine Apple should have given birth too, not Microsoft! I would Take a Surface Pro with OS X any day of the week!!! Apple is too pretentious and proud to make a machine like the surface because there morons! The market is screaming for it, but they don't create or innovate anything that suit's there customers. Tell me, if Apple was able to purchase Microsoft tomorrow and slapped an apple logo on the surface, would you buy it?

He's talking about his Mac so unless you broke into his house, you can't attack his position.
I Switched last November. MS needs to actually do something about its OS problems instead of just pumping more money into advertising. Again. Reminds me of a 'Get a Mac' ad...
OS X is just as arthritic as Windows is at this point, if not more so. Apple needs a few more El Capitan style releases to continue to bring it up to snuff.
what OS problems are you referring to? i honestly dont have any problems at all with OS X. like, ever. i rarely restart and stuff just works. granted there are always going to be forums of people with problems, but i dont know of any general, foundation-level problems with OS X.

nope. it'd still be running Windows, and thats the problem.
I just spent the last 45 minutes wrestling with their bugs i.e. productivity software. Outlook (in Parallels) = Junk. Outlook for Mac = Junk. Outlook in Office365 = Junk. Hey Microsoft, maybe this commercial would have worked in the 90's, but since you haven't done any real updates to Outlook since then, I understand your confusion.

I very much doubt that you own both Mac's (sic). Because there (sic) much more better than PC's (sic). Certainly there (sic) morons that gave birth too (sic) the Surface. Maybe your (sic) in denial. Hysterical indeed!

This is exactly the kind of crap--and just a sampling of the variety, as we haven't even had a mention of antivirus software epics--that led me screaming to the Mac when Apple went Intel. I can't tell you how much time and how many vacations were burned up dealing with my own and relatives' Windows problems. Normally now, when I hear Windows users start to discuss their woes, I walk away, eager to spend my time more productively on something else. It's a pity more people can't afford anything more than a bottom feeding Windows computer.
Well sadly they are beeing more and more right, if you look at the state of the Mac lately
Have you used Windows 10, it's a fracking of shit OS, and not just from a UI perspective, upgrades have completely messed my desktop for weeks to months (Wifi bug came with November upgrade and wasn't fixed until January making Wifi completely unreliable, this was an acknowledged major bug that hit a lot of people). Wiping out all personification of the OS, twice in 5 months, making part of my disk completely inaccessible even when running as admin, another one of their fine upgrades.

Windows 10 is the best Windows yet for monitoring user activity, too.
Hysterical indeed!
Go troll somewhere else, troll.
So, yes MS is lying about their crappy OS.
