With Vulkan about to take off with Source 2 and UE4 Windows gaming will die and there will be no reason to not use OS X and/or Linux. I am glad to see MS's stranglehold on gaming die a slow painful death. If you aren't ready to leave MS for greener pastures after all the spyware and bad updates they have put in 8 and 10 you are crazy.

They are a company with no unified vision and it shows so very much in everything they make. Get on the Steve Jobs cock sucking train and accept things like good UI design, good integration with phones and tablets and all sorts of awesome things you didn't even know computers could do.

Solitaire has in app purchases and built in ads because it's the god drat future and having good programs built into the OS is forebidden

Good thing about Windows, lots of poorly coded applications work really well and legacy stuff works well and that's it.

Good things about OS X, makes you more attractive and look more productive because you have a sweet sleek laptop or desktop, makes women/men find you irresistible, unified messaging from your sweet awesome superior cell phone so you can manage all the HB10s you will be pulling in. The list goes on forever for OS X

Even Microsoft realized Windows was dead and ported Office to the web because they saw the writing on the wall. Nerds think they are power users because they used to run regedit and some spyware removal programs so they don't want to learn something new because they might not be "the guy who is good with computer" anymore

And let's be honest Cortana would look on your weed habit as shameful but Siri would call your dealer when you are out and get you the dankest kush

Seems like you've really "bought in" to Apple

Steve, Tim, and Jonny know best and if you think otherwise you are deluded into thinking you actually know anything about computers

Fun fact, Apple doesn't track you and they take privacy more serious than any other tech company so maybe you should reevaluate what companies you support if you actually value privacy

apple only pretends to give a poo poo about privacy since the snowden revelations. if there was no scrutiny they'd be more than happy to cooperate with government backdoor requests. its just good PR

i think its more likely they want to get the lucrative government contracts which are currently controlled by 8 year old secure blackberries by showing that even the FBI can't get into a phone you make is a really good advertisement for your security.
