[QUOTE="lightsguydave, post: 647502, member: 44825"] I honestly believe then entire stability debate is completely pointless, as the arguments are totally subjective. Mac zealots will rock up and say "Mac are infallible, never crash, BRILLIANT" But they just.do. There are much better reasons to own a mac. When I first got my MacBook, it was actually dead on arrival. I got about 3 hours of life out of it, then the whole thing died. Arguably, this was probably a manufacturing fault, rather than a fundamental operating system flaw. But the point is, no system is completely stable. And its stability very much depends on what one does with it. For this argument to be settled, you'd have to empirically test the theory, so testing 2 machines of the same configuration, one with OSX and one with XP on it. Putting my opinion hat on for just one second... Since the new one, my mac hasn't crashed on me yet.... But there's always a first time and when there is there'll be a PC user there to watch it happen Dave [/QUOTE]
