Disillusionment with operating systems

I love Apple. My computers since college have been Apples. I recently bought a Mac Mini. It is small and beautiful. But, its operating system is as unstable and frustrating as anything I've experienced with Windows. When I was a System Administrator for an HP-UX (UNIX) mini-computer they recognized that the OS was never perfect. Every month they provided updates. Windows produces updates that destroy their own products and now Apple has provided a security update that renders its OS almost so unstable that it can't be used.

The message is not that Apple is now evil and Windows is good. The message is all operating systems are inherently limited. Get over it. I have.
