I used not like Apple because of the universal draw back. But now that they have gone Linux and Intel; I'm concidering buying my first Apple. I spent $350 on Windows XP Pro. It is an unstable DOS. I bought it because I had ME before, which was an unstable DOS. Now they want $400 for Visto Pro and it too is an unstable DOS? No way! Our IT guys at work do not recommend it to anyone.
Microsoft has every buddy brain washed into thinking this is just the way computers are. They must be rebooted multiple times a day they crash without warning... Not so, this is how Microsoft is, not everyone. Our servers at work have automated tasks to reboot them nightly. Our mainframe has never been rebooted. In the seven years that I have been at this company, never has it been rebooted or turned off.
Yes, I am going to go Apple. Though my favorite PC based OS... IBM's OS/2... Rock Solid!!!
