This is definitely a relative thing.  I install something on the PC and it
goes easy with no complications.  Attempts to install on the Mac lead to
extension conflicts that everyone says are easy to sort out.  Fine, maybe
for them, but I've been tryinig to get my Mac to shut down without me having
to pull the power for 6 mos now.  Still have to pull battery and power to
shut down.  Not as simple as some would have me believe.

  Hi Moreno,

  Well, I can say one thing...I just installed a Leaf Lumina on my Mac, and
it
  was literally drag and drop into the PS plug-in folder.  On the PC, it
  requires me to fuss with DOS ASPI drivers, and run setup programs, and
  modify registry settings and this and that...all prone to messing
something
  else up.  I primarily use the PC, but why on earth is it so complicated
and
  intertwined...when the Mac comes across as just so easy and simple...  I
  think MS likes things complicated, so you believe somehow that it's doing
  more...and you will require endless updates, hoping that on the next
update
  you won't have any more problems...and that's been going on now for TWENTY
  YEARS!  Damn I hate MS.  There wasn't one version of DOS that didn't have
  bugs in it...and if they can't even get a simple high school project like
  that right, how on earth would I expect them to get Windows right?

  Sorry, I'm done ranting for now ;-/

  Austin
