Quote: Originally posted by PBG4 Dude I hear ya, the progress bar cruises to 99%, then hangs there for a good 10 minutes. That last 1% must be one heck of a nut to crack. I am sorry but I have no idea what progress bar you guys are talking ab…

Reason #7: The never-ending "Optimizing system performance..." makes updating system components through Software Update unbearably slow. We're all familiar with this one. Software Update gently informs you of new updates to your system software, …

Here is another one: Reason #6: Non-Apple applications rarely if ever have auto-update capabilities. This is one is really unfathomable to me: how can so many apps on the Mac still not have auto-update capability in this day and age? Apple's …

Any other reasons beside the ones I presented? I certainly have a few more on my list, but the point of the thread to kinda have other people also contribute their own potential reasons for switching to Windows. All the discussion so far has been ab…

Quote: Originally posted by Kickaha And yet obviously, for many other people, any perceived performance issues are overwhelmed by those features. You said it yourself: 'in my book'. It's your opinion, and your preference, that performance trum…

Quote: Originally posted by Flounder Dude, maybe people would be friendlier if you didn't come off as such a dismissive jerk. *sigh* I guess that's always the risk one takes when posting "sensitive" topics like this one. I am not being dismi…

Quote: Originally posted by rok wow, cygsid, you really like to see yourself type, huh? if kickaha hadn't gotten in here, you may have had an AI record for "longest thread that has only one participant." You're right, maybe I should just star…

Quote: Originally posted by Kickaha (...) Just curious... if you hate it so much, why do you use a Mac at all? Serious question. I can't stand Windows, so I don't use it. I use what I prefer. Why don't you? That's a very good point for su…

Reason #4: Web browsing is still slow and not as smooth on the Mac. Safari, Firefox, Camino, whichever. They're all pretty good browsers with pretty good rendering and decent speed. However browsing on Windows is still miles ahead in terms of spe…

Reason #3: Office for Mac sucks... Yep, you heard right: it sux! I try to use Office as little as possible on my Mac, as everytime I open it, it makes me cringe when I think of how much it sucks compared to the Windows version: inexplicably high …

Reason #2: No support for videochat from the major IM players (MSN, Yahoo IM, Skype, AIM, etc.). And no iChat doesn't count. Living far away from my family and having friends and acquaintances in many different locations around the world, I'd lov…

Reason #1: Quicken for Mac sucks!!! (and there is no Money for Mac) Year after year, I hope that Intuit would finally release a decent Quicken for Mac, but year after year they keeping release the same crap over and over again, with only minor "M…
