People say the same thing about apple products, but both Microsoft and Apple products never 'just work' for 90% of what I'm trying to do, and if they do the process is convoluted and unintuitive from my experience
Honestly this is my experience as well, they “just work” till they just don’t work. Than getting either the Apple or Microsoft product to work is usually hours of time wasted.
I guess you could say the same about open source or systems like Linux where they also have their issues, but fixing those issues always seems to be a fraction of the time.
Apple and Microsoft products aren’t even on the same dimension when it comes to poor design decisions, cruft, stability and performance. Microsoft fell behind a while ago.
