"Most people who complain of this OS doen't even have it. If you don't have an up to date computer then don't install it, keep using XP, which is also a great OS. New technologies require beefy components as with all electronics. Would you use 10 year old Cerwin Vega speakers with a new Carver THX amp? No, it doesn't make sense. I have had this OS installed since day one and have had zero problems and only have to re-boot for other reasons, not the OS. Just because you are a MAC guy/gal doesn't mean it is OK to trash talk an OS you may have little experiance with."
