Every time I tell people I prefer PC over Apple products, people tell me Apple is better and that they're so much easier to use. Really? Everytime I have tried to use either an Apple product or software it has been nothing but headaches.

Here's list of reasons why I don't like Apple:

Dysfunctional OS,

The task bar on bottom of the desktop looks flashy, but it makes it hard for me to tell what documents/programs are minimized, with Windows it is clear as day to distinct different documents minimized in the task bar.

GUI,

Windows GUI is very customizable, with Macs you're forced to see what they give you. With Windows you can view your folder files in many different ways from Filmstrip to Details, with Macs you're forced to view files in a list and I like to view them as thumbnails, it feels the most intuitive and comfortable to me. Mac OS GUI don't feel intuitive to me like Windows OS. With Windows I feel like I have a very good sense of where everything is, but with Macs I feel like I'm kind of shooting in the dark.

One-click Mouse,

I know they finally got rid of that damn thing not too long ago, but those things drove me nuts! To right-click you had to hit cnrl first, again, not intuitive.

Quick-keys,

In my experience it seems like Macs require you to learn a lot of quick keys in order to perform functions. With Windows everything is layed out visually so you don't have to learn any quick keys

Screens,

I don't know what it is about Macs, but their screens just don't looks as crisp and clear as PC screens.

Gaming,

They're not designed for gaming and you have to wait a long time for the games to come on in Mac format after they come out for PCs.

Updating,

With all the add-ons/fixes/bugs/viruses these days on the internet you need to update frequently. I don't think Apple has nearly as much updating going on as Microsoft does. Of course they say that their platform is better, that is why they don't have the need to fix as many security holes/bugs/fixes and add-ons. But it is also because a lot less people use them, so it is less of a problem.

Multitasking,

I don't know what the latest macs are like with multitasking, but the ones at my school would go to a crawl anytime you had more than one program running at time.

Video Editing,

Everybody says Macs are the best when it comes to video editing and Photoshop. I've had a better experience doing both on a PC. Again Macs are slower and harder to multitask, key things you need to have when video editing and photoshoping.

Speed,

Macs just by nature seem to be slow and I don't think they can be overclocked?

Proprietary Everything,

With Macs you're forced to buy proprietary everything made by apple. The hardware, software, and even internet connection has to be proprietary and you pay a premium for all these that are way cheaper with PCs for the same performance.

Price,

Everything with apple costs at least twice as much for the equivalent of PCs.

The iPhone,

The iPhone was the most overrated piece of crap. Steve Jobs said the iPhone is going to be way ahead of everything else out there but instead turned out to be 2 years outdated by the time it came out. Many phones had the same features an iPhone had 2 years before it came out. And you're forced to use AT&T for the phone service, buy far the worst and most expensive phone service provider out there. I do know that people can hack iPhones to work with different carriers.

iTunes

I never cared for the software, it's too busy and always pops up after download a music file, and I couldn't find a way to turn that off. It gets annoying. I like to view the files in a folder, with iTunes you have to view them in the software. I heard it will automatically tag your music files but that didn't work for me. I ended up uninstalling the program because of the stupid pop-up feature.

Quicktime,

Quicktime and it seems like every other software program made by Apple runs a lot more resource intensive than any other software made by a different company.

The drag and drop feature,

Their dragging drives into the Trash Bin to eject disks is really old fashioned and amateur. It makes it feel like a computer made for babies.

Amateurish,

It feels like it is made for people who don't know how to use computers

What are you thoughts on Apple products? I have not kept up to date with Apple so they might have changed a lot in the last few years and my complaints about the software might be my fault. I've used older Macs, I know their newer ones are a lot better than their older ones.
