If you don't like it do what I did. Use a Mac instead.

Everything works almost identically and you have less freezing and random errors.
Aw, not again... somebody still believes these silly urban legends, spread by Jobs' PR machine?

I have zero freezes or errors on my PC but Tiger was a totally lame bugfest for 4-5 months after its release on my dual G5 last year, let alone the current widespread problems - overheating, random shutdowns etc - of MacBooks and MacBook Pros.
I believe what I see. Thus why I don't believe in "God" to begin with.

I would download and store a video file. Next day I click on that folder and the computer freezes and says unknown error occurred. I create a NEW Folder and put the same file in the new one and no problems. Note that this procedure as simple as it sounds should not happen in the first place and wasn't easy because the folder seemed to crash instantly upon opening and I needed to boot in safe mode just to do this.

WTF is the problem there?

Yeah....

That is just one of the stupidest errors I see on Windows.

A second one is the damn computer freezing for 2 mins-indefinitely when I try to force quit let's say FireFox because it stopped responding.

WTF does it freeze? I had 2GB of rams in my computer over 3yrs ago at least. I had a fast CPU and everything.

Windows is sucky. I'm not arguing viruses or spyware because those can easily be solved for the most part on Windows. Random errors happening on the other hand are def. not an easy fix.

This Windows key genuine advantage is awesome as well as those random errors.
