Hard to believe, at least if you use your Mac for work. I don't think I had more BSODs than KPs in direct comparison. "Macs never crash" is a total myth, perpetuated by people that use their Macbooks like a typewriter. I like my Mac, I really do. Designwise they are superior to PCs, and I think I will continue to use them. But they are a luxury product. @newwavehooker

That said, my home Vista 64 machine does great, so I'm assuming some security apps installed at my company are making matters worse.

Many of the people I know that do have problems with Windows are fairly incompetent with technology anyway. There are others who simply do not properly maintenance their machines and also run into problems. However, neither of these groups are the fault of Microsoft, but rather the happenstance of rapidly accelerating technology that intrudes ever increasingly on the lives of those who were previously left in the progressive dust.

It's a no-brainer, why pay 500+ $ just because it's Apple? i think Apple is great but their price is way to big, you can get a pc laptop with similar specs at way lower price.
