But Apple has the same chance of screwing up as anyone else. They are not gods living out in the Olimpo, so no need to worship them. If they screw up, shame on them.

The point is that I buy a computing device. I don’t really care how hard it was for Microsoft to make it work, it’s still my money wasted when it doesn’t. Unfair? So what?

Meanwhile, my Mac works very well, almost all the time (and my work Thinkpad works not-so-very-well most-of-the-time). If that wasn’t the case, my money would be going to someone other than Apple.

There really is something very important here that people tend to forget: the great majority of the failures in an operating system are caused by faulty hardware. Got a blue screen? It’s probably some faulty RAM, or maybe even your PSU has power flutuations. There’s only so much that an OS can do to work around those.

In this specific case, it’s probably a faulty Bluetooth device that eventually does not initialize itself correctly. And there’s not much that the OS can do, except complain about it.

It just happens that Windows needs to run and cope with device failures in millions of different devices out there, with an infinite mix of good and bad brands. In turn, OS X has the advantage that it only has to run fine in a finite amount of devices. I believe people should keep that in mind when complaining.
