contention... 20+ years personal experience on both mac and pc DOES NOT support your opinion....i have had both windows and apple in home and business use.

I have much fewer crashes in a mac, startup is faster, and longer usage before replacement of my mac... we are talking about off the shelf macs and off the shelf window machines here, not personal build windows vs. off the shelf apple machines.

I love my apple computers because they work without constant updates to anti-virus software, they are more stable (hardly ever crash), and I buy 1 new one for every 2 of the windows machines.

I don't mind paying more for quality and reliability....my time is very important and not wasting it on products that need babysitting is a big plus!
