As they say in the legal shows, let's stipulate to the fact that the Apple Mac is more stable than the PC. It's pretty much a fact. All the tech sites like Engadget and Leo Laporte's This Week In Tech (TWiT) say it. Don't get me wrong, there are a few Windows loyalists out there that think Windows can do no wrong.
But here's my $0.02: Before you critique Windows instability, recognize that Apple controls 100% of the product. They don't deal with 100s of video cards. They don't deal with processors and motherboards that come out AFTER the product is released that they're expected to support. They don't deal with drivers written by hardware manufacturers that are unstable.
So when you criticize Windows, take everything that's relevant into account.
