It's not surprising some things are not easy or obvious. But at least
you have a computer that can be upgraded, and a wider selection of
software.

It's not [a closed system]?
Even with OSX, I can look inside the kernel and I can see what applications
are doing with tools like ptrace. With Windows... about all you can do is
swap things out until it gets better because you have no actual view into
what the OS is really doing under the hood.

I'm looking at it from a consumer's point of view. The Apple system is closed
and not very flexible. If you're happy with that, fine. I am not.

I have been known to run Process Explorer (a free app) to see if something is
not behaving properly or doesn't belong there in the first place.

Bear in mind that whatever goodwill I had for Apple evaporated when the
company started lying through its teeth about its computers and operating
systems.
