windows is not second rate os.

name me any other os that is capable of using 99.9% of all hardware and software on the market, with as few glitches, as much ease of use, and as mucha ccessibility.

Yes I will make this thread a windows VS thread, because nothing compares.

Just because it can use 99.9% of software doesn't mean it is NOT second rate, it's like saying a Hummer is fuel efficient because it has all the gadgets a vehicle can have. Do not get me wrong, Windows has its uses, and I am not a Mac fanboy, I have my bone to pick with Apple aswell.. But in terms of software architecture, Mac OSX is far superior than Windows.

I agree. Mac OS are much better built, but they are specialized for their applications and hardware. Yes you can use pc hardware now, but not any hardware.

Windows is still DLL and Registry hell. That is a horrible build, that is why it has so many glitches and exploits and Viruses are so easy to make for it. Few glitches? Where have you been the past 3 years since Vista Launched? Why do you think they are making Windows 7? Vista was universally hated because it had so many glitches and was incompatible with so much software it was ridiculous. Never before has Microsoft released a new OS so fast after just releasing one (namely Windows Vista) save maybe.. Windows ME to Windows XP, I think the time-span between those two was just as short if not a bit shorter.

windows me was the worst. But I digress, I am not saying that it is the least glitchy, I said it was the least glitchy while also having great compatibility. You wanna talk only about Vista then? Vista is just basically a console with partial BC. A lot of software and hardware had to be readdressed, but the things that Vista, and in particular vista64 can do, make the other iterations look limp.
