The OS plays a big factor with the Macs. Yes, they have “inferior” specs, but the OSX runs leaner than Windows…traditionally. I’d much prefer to work in Windows, but that’s my preference. ---

No need to be surprised @boardjnky4 all I wanted was some comparative feedback from you guys and that’s what I got. ---

Apple Software is built for Apple Hardware. It’s certainly true that Yosemite is a bit of a buggy release. However, in general I think it’s fair to say that OS X is optimized for Apple Hardware. ---

However, in general I think it’s fair to say that OS X is optimized for Apple Hardware. Well yea. I mean if you have Microsoft build Windows for one platform of hardware, it will be stable as all hell. I think they just announced them doing this didn’t they where there would be a pure version of Windows that runs on a hardware platform that is only Microsoft and not vendor OEM shit with bloatware. ---

Yosemite is pure garbage in my experience. I don’t like it on stand alone, I like it even less in an AD environment. There’s numerous bugs and problems I’ve been dealing with since it’s release (and on all recent patches as well). ---

> [@boxxa](#): > > Agreed. Huge Apple and Mac fanboy but I have never had more problems than Yosemite and iOS8 Between the white startup screen that freezes half way, the black startup screen freeze and the Black screen with just a white cursor where it’s asking for credentials but you’d never know it…FUUUUUU Yosemite. Many of our issues seem to point to being bound to AD, especially after a forced shutdown caused by one of the above lockups. Seems like the OS isn’t smart enough to fail AD auth and use cached creds or something. Luckily only a few machines require 10.10 at this time…it clearly wasn’t ready for release. ---

Ya I get a lot of “Your computer has restarted in Safe Mode” anytime there is updates and a bunch of other issues where I have seen more of that spinner of doom than I ever have. I know people who have not used encryption so I am debating turning it off for testing. The rotation issues on the iPhone 6 plus are driving me nuts too. ---

The rotation issues on the iPhone 6 plus are driving me nuts too. Oh yeah, we had some encryption issues with 10.10 as well…forgot about that feature. More rainbow spinning than the fucking roller rink. ---

I got one of these Mini Drives [http://www.theminidrive.com/](http://www.theminidrive.com/) for free and been using it as a in slot backup. I am going to back up my PC and then do it to get rid of the encryption and test again. I personally dont like notification center either. Too much going on. I like growl and take that iOS shit out of there. ---

I’ll say one thing I definitely did not enjoy windows 8, made the decision process a lot easier. And why does everything have to be fucking touch screen with Windows? The extra expense that costs could be used toward making the overall user experience less shitty. ---

I have FV2 turned on and it runs just fine. Probably takes more time booting up but I hardly ever power it off completely. ---

I disabled it for the time being. I am not traveling with it anytime soon so will leave it unencrypted and see if it runs any better. ---
