Windows 10 Sucks!

And guess what everything works. I rarely have an issue with a mac, and if I do, it's a simple reboot (after months of continuous run time). Micro$haft can't say that, never could never will. I have a W10 box for gaming and that's all I use it for. I literally despise using it from power up until I'm actually in-game...

.... and then I hate it with the fire of a thousand suns when it inevitably crashes in the middle of doing anything.

Eff Micro$haft. They can suck a fart out of my chocolate doorbell.

I only frequent two forums online, and you happen to be on both. Building a new rig next month and debating on using win 10 or going as retro as I can get away with. Been a Mac guy for ten years now and am not looking forward to going back to windows for any reason, but you do what you have to I guess.
 
Sorry for the misunderstood (if any)

My wife had several MacBook pro.
At the exception of the last one (two years old), she always encountered very annoying problems with the mac.
With the time, many of the standard software from the computer doesn't work anymore. for example imovie, …. (I think it was with mac OS X tiger)
It begins after the mac ask for an update of these software. if you start the update, the mac answers that the software needs a new operating system. Then the software doesn't work anymore.
I think that this doesn't happen anymore. Like Windows, the Mac OS will be updated "forever".

Peace !!!
(not a specialist at all with mac) :D
I worked with iMovie code, this sounds very strange, never saw that. The prompting for updating iMovie should not even happen unless you upgrade the OS itself as the installation code looks for dependencies after the upgrade.

It's always worth upgrading the OS, this because security issues are fixed and the sooner you fix them the less chance someone breaks into your computer setup.
 
Very difficult for me to explain in english the all thing. (french)
It is not just imovie, but also other software.
As I said, i don't think it happens with the current Mac OS.
It happened some years (period Tiger and follower) if I remember well (not a all specialist of Mac OS names). But at the end, it forces us to replace a macbook pro for a recent one for my wife, just because the computer was slowly becoming unusable without a "compulsery" new OS purchase.
My father has also a pretty old Mac (desk), and faces exactly the same thing.
You have a software, you are invited to upgrade it, you accept, then you receive a message that the upgrade is not possible because it needs a new operating system, and then the old software doesn't work anymore. Annoying. (I can install old software on windows without much problems).

It is not so important.
We have both Apple and Microsoft.
My wife is happy with Mac, and I am happy with windows :D
And with my own experience and for my needs, both are equaly stable.
(The fact is , that I am the only one which must solve problems on both computers when it occurs :eek:), and that I can handle that better with windows environment in my case)
 
But there's no "OS purchase" on Mac, you get new OS releases for free.
 
Tiger was indeed a very, very old release, early days of 10.x. I suspect your wife was running iMovie for MacOS 9.0. And yes then you need to upgrade as 10.x stopped supporting old MacOS 9.x software but this was so long time ago, things have changed where software and application updates are seamless, even done in the background if you select that option.

This is like really comparing Windows 95 with Windows 7 or 10.
 
As i said, she has now a macbook pro which upgrade without any problem.
I am happy that OS update will be available for free in the future both for mac and windows environment.
