lern2paragraph please. i rather see a wall of text (so that i know to skip over it) than be assaulted by stupid bullet points (in continuous-sentence form, if that makes sense) hoping to find a nugget of wisdom. simply put - most people don't enjoy macs because of the giant premium attached to them (a computer of similar specs to my laptop when i bought it would've easily been over 600 dollars more, but again, we all know macs are overpriced anywhere outside their near immediate launch date of a newer model), don't enjoy the culture that seems to follow mac users (you are a shining example of that, as well as the "i'm a mac" ads), or just simply dont enjoy the OS (i.e, me).

Anyways, a legitimate question to mac users - is there really that much of a problem with installing software on a PC when compared to a mac? The only times i ever have hiccups in the process is with a scratched CD (which is to be expected) or when the software is in a different language, and even then i know where the "next" buttons are so I can usually work my way through it.

I ask because i keep seeing how macs are so "Easy to use" and yet i personally dont see it (my personal expiriences with macs are actually frustrating when trying to get them to do what i want them to do, but then again, im native to windows). Someone mind explaining why this claim exists (as in, why is a mac easier to use than a windows / linux)? The only thing that comes to mind is that you'd get far less compatibility issues concerning hardware (since, like someone else noted - on windows you might get 80 word processors while a mac would have 8 or so, so less chances for problems to occur).

someone mind answering this for me? (i do not mean any offense with the last two paragraphs, its a legitimate question that confounds me).

edit: looks like twesterns' confused about the same thing that i am...nice to know im not alone?
