Ehh. I shouldn't post this, but I will come up with an excuse later for my poor judgement...
I work every day with both the MacOS and Windows. At home I have a Windows workstation and an Apple laptop. Most of my clients are Windows-only; I have one client that has nothing but Macs. Two days a week I provide tech support to people running all the various versions of both, including Leopard and Vista.
They both suck. I hate them both.
I hate that Apple's Mail program still has stupid, buggy behavior. I hate that Windows has a bug in the way it handles DHCP, of all things. I hate all of their idiosyncracies, all the various different things that I have to know and remember and keep track of in order to walk some user through something. I hate that Apple is gradually straying away from its own Human Interface Guidelines, the brilliant document that set the standard in user interfaces. I hate that they're selling keyboards that introduce typos for you, and that damn Mighty Mouse that I have to deal with every day is going to mysteriously end up in the middle of the busiest freeway I can find.
So, basically, having to deal with both of them on a regular basis, I don't see that one very clearly sucks less than the other. They just suck differently.
