None of this was ever true with macintosh machines unless you had truly defective hardware. The dialogue boxes he describes don't exist and PCs shared all of the same issues.

There are reasons to hate apple, none of which can be found in this video. This is simply the testimonial of someone who never wanted to give macs a chance. I use both platforms day in and day out, and they both have their advantages.

P.S. I've been recovering files on my Macs for years, you only cant do so if you've decided to secure delete (overwrite the file 7 times) and the system warns you about it beforehand. I also understand that he's talking about the OS that was in place 9 years ago but I've been working with that one on a regular basis too because I have parents and Macs simply do not break down.

You must have been absent for this era in Mac's history. The iMac he had in the video couldn't be given away to people after a few years, because they were so horrible to use. I gave up on trying to do anything with Macs in the early 2000s because I hated using them so much. I'm sure they've improved since then, but they still have the same made-for-idiots philosophy that I absolutely can not stand. Now Microsoft is trying to emulate it, and that pisses me off.

I dunno, I still have my original iMac (same as in the video) and I loved that machine. At the time my PC was a running NT and it wasn't like that was an operating system that anyone looks back on fondly. I use Windows, Linux and OS X on a daily basis and each one has their quirks. I wouldn't want to do db development on a mac and I sure as hell wouldn't want to do music production on a PC. The made-for-idiots philosophy is frustrating for dev work but if I'm recording a song I don't need a bunch of conflicting driver messages (and if I'm particularly unlucky a BSoD) because I decided to switch audio interfaces on the fly.
