For me, windows is actually a much better user experience for working with MS office for traditional office tasks. I have Macs at home for working with music, pictures, and video. And Linux for my home lab stuff. They all have their niche.

Yep, best thing to do now is to buy a relatively new one 2nd hand with plenty of ram and just hold onto it until it no longer does the job. There is nothing useful in any of the new OS upgrades, you can run Macs for a good decade if you've got enough RAM.
Exactly! I bought the last Mac Mini with upgradeable ram and got it from 8gb to 64gb for less than going to 16gb factory installed would cost me. After this one is done, I'm not sure I can justify buying another one.
Mindlessly worshipping and understanding the advantage of a truly FOSS browser over one owned by the biggest data harvesting organization the world has ever seen are two pretty different things.
Honestly it feels to me like there are some people here paid to be trolls by Google, because their arguments are so incredibly lame that I can't see any other reason they'd exist.
I'm okay with this as long as one of the options is
"Because fuck you, that's why."
I love hearing one of the guys who's hogging up most of the world's resources for himself telling us that somehow we're going to get a bigger share. Yeah we will if someone takes it from the oligarchs and distributes it like we had in the middle of the 20th century. But he'll be the first one kicking and screaming if someone tries it.
By the time Google+ rolled around, it had become clear that any social media owned by a big tech giant would suck after a while, and anything experimental released by Google would be killed after a while, so why invest in it?
I do understand this feeling. It's how I felt when I first left Firefox for Chrome. I would check in every few years for about 10-15 years and see if I was still better off on Chrome, and I was. But then one time, it just wasn't the case any more. I switched back to Firefox and now Chrome feels shitty, slow, and bloated to me.

Yeah gotta wait for the heat on this antitrust probe to die down before doing the dirty.
Yea this is a Macworld article.
