Officially Hate Microsoft and PCs

So, I had a very rough day today. As if the visa process wasn't difficult enough. I woke up this morning and powered on my laptop. It took quite a while for it to load and all of a sudden I received a blue screen error. I worked on it for a couple of hours acting like I knew what I was doing. I finally gave up and took the laptop down to the PC repair shop. After several hours of diagnosing the problem and £245 (about $423). My hard drive failed and needed to be replaced. So 3 hours of labor and a new hard drive later, I finally have a computer again. Ever since I have owned PCs I have always had hardware/software problems. I am extremely tired of dealing with these problems along with viruses, worms and trojans. Once the university loan money comes through in a couple of weeks, I am purchasing a Mac laptop. If you think about it, Windows is already releasing a new operating system. It seems like they do this every year. When will they perfect their operating systems and stop failing? Windows XP is one of their best by far and has little problems, they should just stick with one OS and fix the bugs and security loop holes. Why continue to start from scratch and build upon existing operating system versions? Mac has consistently had success with their Leopard OS, and I think more and more people should steer towards a Mac. Well, I will stop ranting and raving here. Hopefully nothing else happens to me, I am sick of these little problems, they are really adding up cost wise.

I'm assuming you have antivirus software? And really bad expensive luck?

Yeah, I have AV software. It was the stupid hard drive that failed. Every PC I have ever dealt with seems to have hardware or software issues.

Late comment!! However, I agree. Apple is much more reliable and seems to be more user friendly. Sorry you are experiencing so much life in such a short period. Cheers.
