I switched from PC's to Mac back in 2009 and have been a happy puppy ever since. This week though I had to buy a PC for a special project (Alienware "Area 51", 32GB Ram, Nvidia GForce graphics, and Windows 10 pre installed on an SSD Drive.

Oh my god, what total, utter crap. I can't believe that you still have to install drivers for every little thing you want to do. I can't believe that you still have to visit manufacturers websites and sift through tons of crap just to find the driver you need. I can't believe that the latest drivers still suck, and you have to go back to the one before it.

Even connecting 2 monitors is a chore. You have to connect it, hope Windows sees it, click, click and click again to get it to the right or native size and resolution. Unplugging 1 monitor when you decide you want to switch primary and secondary monitor connections is still a major pain in the ass. Primary monitor no longer connected? Window says "I know! I'll just sit and do nothing and date not even dream about reorganizing and switching what was the secondary monitor back to primary. WTF.

Here's how simple a Mac is. Plug it in, turn it on, everything is there. Software updates are in 1 place, with download functions built right into the OS. Reboot after a driver update? Almost never. Connecting / disconnecting / swapping monitors? Fast, instant, no hang-ups, no crashes. Wireless displays? EFFORTLESS. Connecting mics and speakers? SIMPLE.

I have no choice but to use Windows for the project and I'm sure I'll figure out all the endless stupidities that (Still) is Windows. It's just a shame that so much time has already been wasted. I feel totally bad for every Windows PC user still stuck in the stone age.
