Same.

I find it endlessly pointless to argue about it. Personal computers are just that -- personal. Use what you like.
In my experience I've seen most people's complaints about Apple's hardware are really just an issue of the user not being savvy or experienced with Apple products. For example a good friend of mine who can't figure out how the multi-touch functions work on my Macbook (lol) and gets really frustrated.
One might argue, "Well then Apple should change their stuff because I can't understand it".
By that logic, Russians should change their language because I can't understand it lol.

I see what you're saying in bold, I agree with that, PCs are made to be more user-friendly. HOWEVER, the underlined bit I do not agree with, because the users who paid for a product want it to be less difficult to use. Here's the logic behind that statement: "PC can be friendly to the average user, why can't Mac? I like Mac, but it is just too hard to use!"

See where I'm coming from? But, we luckily agree on the fact we shouldn't force opinions on others, so this entire conversation is somewhat null and void. TAKE THAT, MICROSOFT FANBOYS! AHAHAHAHAHAHAAA!

I, having used both, find the Mac interface to be easier to use than Windows. It simply, for me, feels more natural. Not to neglect PC's though.

The only reason the Windows experience can't be as seamless as the Mac is because Apple copyrighted the layout/design.

And because windows has to have more assorted crap in and around the interface so that it can actually be modified or customized by the user. IoS is frustratingly user friendly, which actually makes it more difficult for people who know what they're doing.

I'm a lazy person, so I like it that way. Don't have to meddle with anything.
