windows is not a piece of crap
I can argue endlessly but that has been done infinite number of times. so would just quote one of the highly ranked user comments that I read recently on engadget, it is not an exhaustive argument but a few good points:
Windows = an operating system that excels in a
business environment.
Any questions?
I may use both platforms, but Windows has always been way ahead of the game when it comes to any business implementation.
Businesses do not want to retool their office equipment everytime a new computer comes out. There's a reason why legacy ports exist, so me, joe sixpack or corporation x don't have to upgrade if we don't want to at this point.
Apple tends to throw off ports on their machines at random. The first rev
macbook pro (the original conroe processors) didn't even have firewire 800. I don't know about you but shouldn't there be some consistency here? Powerbooks G4 Al had Firewire 800 --> then missing in the next rev?. I know I know they've solved the problem now, but there is clearly a reason why most corporations will never switch to an all apple lineup.
Windows may not be perfect, but when you want to maintain compatibility, you give up some stability and that's basically just what Windows is. Now we always get the random linux guy in here who says linux is ready for primetime, so I guess I'll get this out of the way.
Linux is great for servers, has rock solid stability, is supported by millions of people around the globe but lacks in the UI department. There are too many people in the linux community who want to preserve the archaic way of gpedit xconf.org (to get dual monitors working or another resolution) or randomly pasting commands to get other things working. I've talked to many linux zealots and the one fundamental flaw that exists in their arguments is just because they can open up the terminal and can get stuff working, well that grandma should and can do that too.
People want simplicity, but don't want to be locked down to one company that controls the hardware and pricing
People want flexibility, but don't want to be confused and be told to RTFM or look up the answer on a forum.
Windows isn't the best operating system, but it lands between two extremes in the computing world.
also macs are not perfect as it claims to be.

all this even as Apple is having total control over the hardware.
and also regarding
iPhone its also the same... just the coolness factor and multitouch not really a smart phone. even the CEO of AT&T Mobility says that he uses a Blackberry for daily business and when he is on vacation he prefers the iphone.
Well for business today, the BlackBerry is my preference. For entertainment, the iPhone has no equal. You know, if I'm taking something on a personal vacation that takes my
music and my videos, then the iPhone just has no equal.

bottomline: I'm not arguing that something is inferior or whatever.. its just that things have good points and bad points. If something isnt for you it need not be called crap
and even more if 90% of computer users have it
P.S. @dooby have you used vista ? anyway nevermind
P.S.S. @vebmetal there is no fun in ending things like that
