I was reading a thread in the Rumors forum about Snow Leopard 10.6.3, and the potential for Apple to bolster the stability of OS X. It made me think: how could this OS be any more stable?
I've had my MB for a bit over a month now, and have yet to experience one application crash, let alone an OS crash. Let me take that back, I think I locked up the DVD burning app on day 3 or so. But I have yet to see any one app become totally unresponsive or die since, and have never received an error from OS X.
Meanwhile, I just had to install some patches on my work laptop (XP Pro), and when starting the reboot - ta-da - "this program is not responding". I think I see that on a daily basis, not to mention coping w/memory leaks in Windows apps like IE & Outlook.
I appreciate the Mac OS more & more each day for it's intuitive nature, in addition to the stability. OS X is a fortress, while Windows seems to be made of spit & tissue paper. If there was ever a point where I told myself I'll never ever go back to Windows for personal computing, this is it.
