My biggest misfortune was owning a Windows ME desktop during my teenage years. Microsoft and its OEMs have gobbled up more pounds from the Suleman family than any other tech company.
I experienced the highs of Windows 95, which introduced the Start button, the vibrant colour and stability of XP, mediocrity of Vista and return to form with Windows 7. Over the last two decades our home has welcomed most iterations of Microsoft's flagship software, starting with Windows 3.1. I've been a dedicated Windows man for the majority of my life and Microsoft and its OEMs have gobbled up more pounds from the Suleman family than any other tech company. I've owned two Apple products to-date - an iPad (3rd generation) and iPod mini, which was a gift.
( Find out if I think the same nine months on).Īfter 20 years of using a Windows PC as my main machine, I never thought it would end like this, but the Metro interface was the last straw.īefore you skip to the comments to accuse me of Apple bias, I'd like to point out a couple of things. Indeed, it feels like trading in a Ford Mondeo for a Ferrari Enzo. OPINION: The break-up has been less painful than I imagined.
