I Hate You Too, Windows!

What the heck did I ever do to Bill Gates, except help him amass his quintillion dollar fortune by buying his products for nearly 20 years?  I mean really, what did I do to deserve all of the HATE I still get from Windows, even on my new Mac?  

If you've been following my blog (and I don't know why you would), you know that I just got a Mac Book Pro.  I was a bit skeptical at first, but now I know why they cost so much more than a PC laptop...because they're worth it.  But I digress...anyway, I'm loving this Mac and having NO problems with it, until I install a program called Parallels that allows you to run Windows on your Mac.  In case you haven't guessed, the only problem with it is that it requires...wait for it...WINDOWS!  Kill me now.  Four attempts at installing a working version of windows on the Mac, FOUR!  WTF?!?  Why do I get no love from windows?  I was SOOO happy to be working in the Mac OS and then I just HAD to use a windows program.  Just when I thought I was free, they pull me back in...

BTW, if you're wondering, now that I have a successful install of windows on my Mac, it runs like a champ on those occasions when I need to run a windows program.  In fact, Windows XP actually runs better on my Mac then it did on my old Acer laptop.   Man, I hated that Acer.
