Im not saying that they dont. btw~ you were mentioning hardware products and not software and of course when you innovate a new product there are issues. But m$ doesnt really innovate anything, they copy, buy or crush. So they dont really get to get off with that excuse. Take the Zune for example, they release it WAY before its ready and hell it didnt even work on vista, thats just not smart. They said something like with a year the zune would have about 25% market share, its been 9 months and its at 3%....
On this whole thing I was just giving my opinion about the 2 different perspectives each gives and TO ME I like the Apple one a lot better and I would rather spend my $$ with someone that I agree with how they do business. hardware, software, whatever the bottom line to me is that if I were to go buy a new computer today I would go buy a mac because out of the box I am just that much more productive with their computers and os x software in general and I dont mind "paying more" even though im not really because if I bought a pc I would buy a good one which feature 4 feature would be at least as much. I wouldnt have a registry, I wouldnt pray & hope on backups, i wouldnt have to reboot ever 5 minutes, my apps would just open and work and not crash and lose data all the damn time, i wouldnt have 7 popups every time I want to click on something, etc etc.. Realistically, I have to pick one or the other & its crystal clear to me & i am not the only one. >Apple does not always make or sell the best products.
