I used a mac for almost 8 years. When things worked, and you shared the same preferences as the designers (or were willing to adapt), things were pretty good.
If you had different preferences, mostly too bad. Maybe if you reboot with system protection turned off, you can edit the config file, and hope it doesn't get reverted.
If things didn't work, like when I was getting static for audio 25% of the time I hit Play in iTunes from a shoutcast server for a whole major release, there wouldn't be any useful help on the internet. Maybe somebody had a similar problem 3 releases ago, but that fix doesn't work anymore. Other problems, or irritants are often the same way.
With Windows, most of the problems you run into are fixable, and easy to find. With an open source OS, at least you can dig in and try to fix your own problems.
