Apple Sued Over MagSafe Adapter Fire

[citation][nom]Vladislaus[/nom][citation][nom]sundragon[/nom]Not even close, I work in IT as well with both platforms... Mac's are not perfect, but by comparion have given me far fewer Kernel Panics vs BSODs... Windows has gotten better, but it's a 10 to 1 ratio at best even now Windows 7 vs OS X 10.6...[citation]I also work at IT and like I said BSOD since windows 2000 onwards are very rare. Most of the time is because of hardware issues or driver/software issues. Only very rarelly is the OS to blame and many times it can be repared. The only thing microsoft failed till the appearence of windows 7 is providing decent tools to recover the OS in case of problems. If the BSOD was that common I would have ended my life long ago due to work related stress.[/citation]

Saying the BSOD is only driver related is missing the point - Regardless of what causes the issue - inherently the design and development of the OS was poor - they allowed poor drivers to be written, and MS totally owned up to it with Windows 7, finally - Horay for both of us, but to compare the number of Kernel panics I'VE EXPERIENCED ( working in an environment where we used both platforms) in the last 6 years vs the number of BSOD is fractional... BTW, are you working with Macs? You obviously are not experiencing any BSODs with Windows 7, but in the last 6 years, what's your experience been?

Since when does Microsoft have anything to do with drivers from third party manufacturers. Many people that had Nvidia GPUs when vista came out found out that they had lots of problems due to the GPU drivers, so you're saying that Microsoft is the one to blame not Nvidia. That's funny.

Apple is getting more and more bad rep on them by the day. Soon they'll be hated as much as, oh my gosh, Microsoft! ;-).

@SunDragon: Why in the world are you being this defensive? Lol if Dell, HP, etc had a stupid issue like this one that they obviously are hesitating to admit, you really think none of these posters would poke fun of them either? Get a grip.

@SunDragon: While I'm not someone who uses Windows 7 at work and at an IT level, I do use it for gaming. I've had 1 BSOD, and it actually helped in determining I had a RAM issue. You know, in fact, in the years I've used Windows XP and even Vista as well, all of the very few BSOD's I've had pointed to hardware issues (failure, not driver related), never the OS itself. I've had issues installing some software on Vista (such as Daemon tools Lite or Nero Burning Rom), but all of them had workarounds, none of them causing BSODs. And really no hardware installation issues. I'm curious to know what "environment" your exactly working in that you experience so many BSOD's?
