OK, so, with all of that said, have you considered that you are dealing with
a system specific or situational specific standpoint? In other words, to rant
about the problems you are having and then to generalize them as being problems
with the Mac is kind of ridiculous when others are not necessarily experiencing
the same issues. In fact, to me, if I was the only one having said issues, I'd
wonder if there is something going on with my system itself Long Before I'd
start blaming Apple, the Mac or VoiceOver.
Maybe, you have a setting you have inadvertently changed. Maybe, it's
permissions problems that are acting up. You might have to do a disk repair or
even a OS reinstallation. Contacting Apple support and getting a senior
advisor on the line might be a great approach to have them witness what you are
experiencing.
I have not experienced the kinds of things you are reporting personally. Am I
saying you are imagining things or making them up? Of course not. People have
offered solutions and have tried to assist. That's all we can do. If you think
Windows is a better alternative, good luck. I love when people make statements
like that because they then spend a few days back in Windows and remember why
they left that platform in the first place.
Take it from someone who has to use Windows for a teaching contract. The
Mac is a pleasure compared to dealing with the nonsense that many basic tasks
in Windows requires.
For example, connecting a Windows laptop to a wireless network was an olympic
event that would have taken me five seconds to accomplish with my Mac. How do I
know this? Well, I had my Mac Book Pro with me at the job site, and it took
me ... five seconds to join the network it took about a half hour of futzing on
the Windows machine to accomplish. It was most amusing to have the Windows IT
guy clearly being tortured by the fact my Mac got on his network with a few
keystrokes and he couldn't figure out why the Windows Laptop wasn't doing it at
first.
