Mac 1:1 (1:0) PC
Our Toyota Pirus has this feature that you don’t need to put your key in the car to drive it. So when 余艾蕾 and I drove off this morning I didn’t notice that I was driving off using the key in 余艾蕾’s pocket, not mine. When I got to work, however, I was unable to unlock my office door. So I sat down and started working at the PC in the hall, rather then at my Mac.
Apart from figuring out how to turn on the Dvorak keyboard, and having it pop back to QWERTY for no reason that I could tell, the PC was not that bad to use. There is just one thing to know, don’t use Microsoft software. Once I started using software not shipped by Microsoft all went well!
So Microsoft makes a passable operating system, but really crappy software.

I’ve also found that my keyboard layout choice is thrown out of being Dvorak at seemingly random times. I’ve not yet found what key sequence in Windows is doing this, but it sure drives me nuts for the moment it’s happening. Even worse, sometimes the language bar stuff down on the task bar leaves only the language selection, making it impossible to actually switch it back—but only for that particular window.
