Well I have to shake my head on the continual headaches Windoze machines give to their users.

Windows mis-spelling is intentional.
Gotta push back a little on this one. My wife is an apple fanatic, but she spends a good chunk of time banging her head against the wall in frustration with one issue or another. Usually with uncooperative apps and trying to live in an online world that is 75% Windows based. Meanwhile, I have been humming along with Windows 10 for years with zero issues and with some big, complex apps (Lightroom, Photoshop, etc.) they NEVER fail. These are all the stand alone versions so all the work in on my desktop - Intel I5, 32 gigs ram, high-end graphic card (can't remember which one).
I'm not knocking Apple computers (they are pretty and come is cool boxes) but they do have their drawbacks if you are trying to get work done in the real world.
