When I was totally reliant on a PC I would spend half my time just trying to fix errors caused by dirty uninstalls. Not fun.

It's easy enough to get rid of the app itself, but not the supporting files, which the Windows Add and Remove control panel at least attempts to do. Notice the arrival of <a href="http://appzapper.com/" rel="nofollow">AppZapper</a> and its variants. My favorite thing about the Mac is its refreshing lack of viruses and spyware.

Sure, there are a few pref panels and settings that hang around after but nothing like the crazy fragmented mess that is a windows program removal. And how about connecting to a wireless network or router? It took me 10 seconds on a Mac, and about 10 hours on a PC. I also love how easy it is to uninstall a program.
