I use Microsoft's Windows OS day in day out and have used it for more than 10 years now. Of course, anyone that I've talked to in the last year knows that I think Mac OS X.3 is the best OS on this planet. I've had a lot of people disagree with me but I just think that the Windows approach is just not 'there' yet. A little example from my experience setting up Windows today -
I was updating Windows through Windows update. I was connected to the internet through my Netgear wireless card. Windows update shows that there is an update available for the wireless card driver. I select it to be installed. It downloads it and start installing it. What happens next? It deactivates my network card, I'm guessing here that it was trying to install the new driver but of course, the update is running as an ActiveX control from the MS web page. Network disconnects, web page hosting ActiveX control loses connection and the browser displays a 'page not found' error and the driver install has disappeared leaving my network card in limbo. I reboot hoping the network card will connect.. nope. I reinstall driver - no go. I unistall driver, reboot, install driver, reboot, insert card, configure network and voila - 5 reboots and countless curses later I am back online.
Please try something similar on an Apple Computer because I just can't describe how worlds apart the experience is. Just no comparison. An avergage person is a zillion times better off with Apple. Now, if they'd just realize it and converted in droves.. :)

Hey Raji, that's cool that you read up often! I tend to focus too much on Apple - will try to break up the monotony in the future :)
