30 years...

I know that's tongue in cheek.

It was the part about the unicorns that gave me away, wasn't it?

I fully agree with you that anything Windows fully sucks the big one. Other than having to deal with it at work I rarely have to use it. I find everything about it pretty much non-intuitive and difficult to do.

Windows is sort of like Glock. Their new products really aren't much different than the original and every time they announce something new it usually isn't what the people have been really wanting.

Lets see: last weekend I had to install a new laser printer for the wife home office. Installation time on her work PC running windows 7: 45 min (had to find the proper driver, then install it and restart, then configure) Installation time on our home iMac through wifi : 30 seconds.... (No drivers, worked immediately will all functionalities).

get a Mac.

Windows 10 only does cursive-This reply is in cursive on my laptop, I never have to print any more

I believe Windows has had Random Print functionality since 95 came out, that is to say that it will send shit to the print spooler(an utterly obsolete concept when printers have gigs of buffer memory), and at some point in the next 6 months, it may or may not print, may or may not require you to restart the OS, network, printer, water heater, or political campaign, in order to print.

It's official - Microsoft just made the list of things I need to take care if I am ever diagnosed with a terminal disease. This has to do with Office for Mac, they removed the Publisher View in the 2016 version so now everything that was created as a table in that view is now one giant textbox. I cannot add or remove rows. Second time this has affected important documents (these 10 happen to be our checklists for Donning and Doffing Bio PPE). I really hate Microsoft.

I bought my wife an 8.1 laptop last year and I still cannot figure out how to add a printer, it is now a doorstop and she is using my old MacBook Air. I have been on a Mac for the last 4 years and love it. Yes it has issues as well, but nowhere near the issues that Windows has.

My last year at JeffCo I was using a $300 Chromebook that worked better than any of the Windows machines in the building. Even after IT said I could not print and they posted on the support page "Printing is available on Google Chromebooks" I was up and printing in under 3 minutes from anywhere in the building. I posted how to do on our Learning Management System and other teachers were able to do the same thing. IT still kept telling people you could not print from a Chromebook. I had all 60 of my students printing from their Chromebooks as well (when needed). I was pretty much paperless my last year. A $300 web-based machine kicked the shit out of a crapware IT bloated POS Dell.

Windows is flaming bag of dogshit on the porch of life. The only reason it is still used in the corporate world is it allows IT to be needed. If shit didn't break all the time there would not be much of a need for support tickets, waiting on hold, and beating your Dell into the drywall.

Hitting the Windows key and typing "Devices and Printers" is hard

I upgraded my Macbook Pro to El Capitan last night. Everything seems to be working, but I haven't tried to print yet.

I print so rarely that my cartridges tend to expire before they're empty. Print is dead.

Still harder than plugging in the USB and waiting 20 seconds, then clicking OK.

Email it to your iPhone and print from there. Works every time.

All Android here, at least that's one working OS.
