I have had it since the public betas came out, and still find it a chore to use.

I too use any OS that is put in front of me, but I find Windows Ate a dismal failure. It's like nothing else on the desktop, which is what I use mainly. It may be okay on a tablet or a phone, but AFAIC, that's it.

Oh, and for video/audio recording/editing, there's nothing quite like OSX.
