>can you remember even one comparable failure from Apple?
Apple's products are big ugly failures very often:
- Siri is a disappointment from usability point of view and ridiculed on the internet when compared to other digital assistants
- Apple Newton
- Apple servers, where it turned out that in the server market a shiny case doesn't matter as much as power, efficiency, and cost (bang for your buck)
- G4 Cube
- Any of their several mouses
- Any of their several keyboard
- The U2 itunes incident
- The "You're holding it wrong" fiasco
- The recent hilarious iphone X calculator bugs
- iPhone bending

No, I run on a Macbook because that's what my work gave me.
No, I use Windows because I like things just working. OSX/Linux doesn't just work.
>one comparable failure from Apple
Just the whole damn OS. If I want unix based I'll use Linux.
- You probably run it on Macbook because native Windows laptops are sub-par and bad value for the buck. Reinforces my point.
- You probably run it because you have to. Reinforces my point partially.
Yes, maybe Win10 is not so awful anymore. Who cares, the damage is done. The trick is not hitting the target once in a blue moon. The trick is hitting it every time, and it's obvious MS can't do that. Between Windows ME, Vista and Win8, can you remember even one comparable failure from Apple?
Win8 was so bad, it made Linux desktop look usable by comparison. Even as it was itself neglected as OSS enthusiasts moved to Mac OS en masse.
