No one, probably not even Tom, has ever claimed that Macs do not have problems. Everything has problems...even Windows computers. The Mac OS, in general, has fewer issues that need to be resolved than do Windows machines. I include viruses, malware, bots, et al. Perhaps you would argue this point, but you'd likely be the only one on this list who would. For all I know, when using Windows on a Macintosh, a user could be faced with the same software issues seen by any user on a computer that came with Windows installed. I don't do it, so I have no first hand knowledge. Folks I know who did move to Macs from a long history with Windows tell me they find they only use the Windows side, if at all, for work related stuff for which they feel they need to use that MS product. They convey these things to me because we are friends and friends do talk to each other about common interests, These folks actually may not need Windows for much at all, and time and some testing will determine if they actually still need it for most of their work related stuff. They may still need Windows for VPN.
