Some Apple users are financially constrained. I was. In 2006, I had been saving a full year to get my first Apple laptop. I couldn't wait to switch. I had been with Windows since 3.0 and before that MS-DOS.

I thought we were talking about m$ operating systems. Isn't part of the problem with m$ code that it's trying to maintain operability with stuff written in 1997? Legacy stuff that runs our cash machines and atm machines?

~Kris M.Sure they do.Where's your Zune?Your Windows tablets?
