I have no axe to grind and have owned a PC since 1990. I still use a desktop PC which I built myself. I understand Windows sufficiently to make my PC run well. I have to take issue when it is said that it is only through fiddling that Windows becomes corrupted, it isn't.

My PC hangs for a minute or so now when I right click on anything in Explorer. Through diagnostic software I have found what is happening but am struggling to cure the problem. This problem just appeared without me doing anything.

I recently bought a Mac Bok Pro. It overheated and locked up frequently. It was replaced under warranty. I bought one knowing I could run Windows if I so desired. As yet I haven't needed or wanted to!

Sorry, I have been converted although I hope I have resisted becoming evangelical about it.

I find some big irritations like no right mouse button, no 'Del' key and not being able to program the mouse pointer to jump to a pop up window automatically.

From opening the box and switching it on it was a dream to set up and it saw and used my wireless network with no hassle.

Costwise it was only slightly more expensive than a similar specification Advent (about £100) and was 500g lighter.

If someone finds Windows irresistible, good luck, it doesn't affect me and me using a Mac doesn't affect you so we can all live in harmony.
