Case in point

Continuing the Mac vs. PC debate with myself ... I do have Microsoft Office loaded onto my Mac. Apple has programs compatible to Word and PowerPoint and Excel, but you have to convert them before sharing with PC users, blah, blah, blah. So I sprang for the Microsoft suite.

When any of my Apple software requires updating -- like iTunes or Safari or OSX, it prompts me for my password, I hit hard return and it just goes and loads the update.

When the Microsoft stuff needs updating it's always no fewer than a dozen clicks and prompts and check boxes and menus and confirmations. Apple just seems to intuit that, yes, I want to load this software on my hard drive and, yes, since I'm replacing existing software it's very likely that I have the room on my computer for it, etc., etc., etc.

So yeah, PCs suck.
