And if it were, why does that matter? Would you rather have a million crappy programs or a hundred good ones? (not that windows doesn't have good programs) Quote:

I had to look up MTBF, but to put it simply I have a 5 year old G5 running both 10.5.5 and 10.5.5 server. They last a lot longer than PCs and have greater quality control. Just post your specific questions and I can try to answer them rather than write a broad response to all the possibilities of what you are really asking.

The Mac O/S is quick and stable, there are also only around 40 viruses for mac where there are about 40,000 (i think) for Windows so they are less likely to get infected.
However hardware wise most Mac desktops (except for the towers) are basicly laptops inside with bigger screens. If you want a reliable, stable PC, I say, go for Linux. |
