I'd just like to speak to this as a windows user. Windows 98 and 95 gave me
some woes with locking up etc. That is true, but Ed is right. You don't get
any of that stuff with windows anymore. In fact, in the past two years I
haven't had a single problem since moving to Windows 2000 pro and then
Windows XP pro.
If it were still 1998 those apple "switch" adds would be right on. However,
the days of most people actually having to see the BSOD are now getting more
and more rare (as users upgrade). Everyone at my office uses XP or win2k. We
don't have any of the problems that they talk about in the switch adds.
I'm not saying that the newer versions of windows don't have compatibility
problems with some hardware, but windows also has more hardware options.
I'm not saying this to defend windows so much, as to just be fair. I prefer
Mac OS computers. I think the interface is better. Although I no longer
believe that Macs are really that much better than PC's aside from the user
interface.
Just my $0.02.
