 Good morning Bob. The creators of Windows 8 and 10 could not be working for Apple. Apple would not come out with something so incredibly screwed up as Windows.

No, it's polar opposites like the force & the dark side lol.  I just read something yesterday that gave stunning stellar reviews for W10.  I was really surprised.

Back when apple was floundering and about to die (pre-ipod/iphone days) Microsoft bought most of the company to keep it afloat.  I'd say that unless Jobs paid them back, Apple is (not so) secretly working for Microsoft!

That's how I felt about the anti-virus programs when I had Windows - sometimes felt like they were infecting, not curing. Apple products now.

I am not a fan of Apple and their high prices, but with the poor planning that went into Microsoft Windows these last two times I am certain that many die hard Windows users are going to be making a trip to the other side.
