Also, lucky you getting an iMac! I'm saving up for one 
Is it as good as it is advertised to be?
Eww Luis!! Don't get a Mac, man! D:
You are talking to a boy who had 5 blue screens a day for a year, and trying to persuade him to stick with Windows... Both my cousins have macs and whenever I have used them I have always been amazed. It's personal preference I suppose...
How the hell do you get 5 blue screens a day?? D:
I have no idea, all I understood from the error log was windows tried to access a file that was already in use, and so it crashed. I think I narrowed it down to still having an inactivated version of Norton and McAfee installed at the same time...
It was very annoying. I went away for a week on holiday and when I got back it was working fine, strange!
Still...Macs are eww
Yer I am with Air on this! Macs, why? You will pay 2x$$$ for half the power, just because it comes in a pretty box!
First thing I would do is "Fuck off Norton" go with something free, AVG free, Avast or even MSSE.
then Fuck off anything in your add/remove programs that ends with "toolbar".
If problem still persists, swap out the RAM. (in my experience 99% of blue screens on 7 are RAM related)
RAM is the cheapest and IMO the most likely component to fail on your PC (excluding drop damage).
This is not a matter of if it will fail, it is just when it will fail, RAM will FAIL!
The only reason it fails more times on PC's than Mac's is because there are more PC's around (and that CHEAP PC's will usually have CHEAP RAM in them).
These days Mac's are just inappropriately priced, dressed up PC's with slower (notebook) HDD's, RAM and the previous model GPU's.
Mac's are NOT immune to failure!
The true difference between a Mac and a PC is, when a PC fails; you can fix it!
ie the time to fix a RAM issue on a PC - ~5mins (taking my time, using readily available tools)
time to fix a RAM issue on a Mac - Unknown (Is the RAM a separate component or is it soldered to the Mobo, do you have the special clover leaf screw driver or is it a previous model with different screws, most probably you will have to take it back and wait a few weeks)
IMO if you are going to use computers and you are definitely young enough, just learn how they work
a few hours on youtube and you will be a guru on the latest hardware!
get an old HDD, plug it in and set it up as your master HDD and just install Windows.
once it is installed, go through all the settings msconfig, TaskMan, add/remove etc and just take note of the programs that are currently running and installed; these are the only programs that you will need, other than the programs that you want to use, that should ever be installed on your PC.
Once you learn this, anytime your computer starts to slow, just uninstall any program that looks Alien! or ends with "toolbar" and I can guarantee that you will be 99.99999% trouble free
The only thing Apple has over the rest is their ability to market their product, in many cases they can sell an inferior product for more dollars, just because it has the Apple logo on it!
(I reckon I could find an "Apple fanboy" somewhere willing to buy a turd with the apple logo on it!)
