I miss my tiger

Ever since my iBook died 2 weeks ago I've been forced to use my Dell PC for all my computer activity. The more I use Windows the more it just annoys me after the elegance of Mac OSX Tiger. Granted, there are some programs on the PC side I can't use on a Mac, like Hello, for uploading photos to this site for example, but in my general day to day use I MUCH prefer Mac. Of course, I have been a Mac user since they were introduced in 1984 so I am a bit more familiar with them.

Why hasn't Microsoft fixed the way you organize your links in Internet Explorer? Argh! Could the window be any smaller? Safari is much easier in this respect. And since I don't have a printer hooked up I often would save pages as pdfs for later reading, but nope, can't do it in Windows. (And yes, I know it is because OSX's Aqua uses display PostScript.) So when I try to save a webarchive sometimes it will work and sometimes it won't.

And why do uninstallers under Windows not ever seem to actually unistall anything? I can run them and think I am done, but nope, there in the Programs folder still sits the application folder FILLED with all manner of junk.

Start menu. Yuck! I could go on and on.

Ok, so you are asking why I even have a PC then if I dislike Windows so much? Primarily I got it to play games. And there is software you can only get in a Windows version, so you are stuck there. As long as I was just using the PC to play World of Warcraft (yes, I know it runs on Mac OS but my iBook couldn't handle it, it just wasn't powerful enough being a few years old) or Guild Wars I didn't notice all other things about Windows that I didn't like nearly as much, because I seldom had to interact with them. But after being so used to the grace of the Mac OS, especially OSX, I just don't see how so many people are complacent with Windows.

Well enough ranting. Windows users are the majority, and us Mac users just a small minority. I guess I will always be in the minority, one way or another, whether in lifestyle, beliefs, etc. I am pretty happy with that actually. I have no desire to be smack in the middle of a bell curve.
