It’s interesting that everything you just listed also applies to Apple — not that they’re the only alternative here.

I guess I should feel fortunate that for Apple, at least the ads are limited to its own range of products.

We have a bunch of Surface products deployed at work and those people seem to love them. I can’t think of any high-rate failures affecting them.

Edit: Wow, I guess we have a lot of angry Apple fanatics here. Am I wrong somewhere? Please point it out. FWIW, I use and prefer Apple products.
