I beg your pardon? Macs are about a thousand times more stable than Windows. I'd get one myself if there was anything to do on one. Problem is, everyone develops on either Linux or Windows, and little ol' Mac gets left behind. =)
I wish they were stable buddy but the one I work on at my work crashes an average or 20-50 times a day...it runs the lates OS and everything. I do almost the same stuff with windows and it rearly crashes (execpt with this Byond problem) and I don't even have the latest Version. Never in my life has any Mac I have been on every not had more problems then I want to deal with. Windows is so much more stable, the only thing more stable then windows is really Linux and DOS.
Then that's a specific problem with that system. On the Macs I've been on at school and other places, my experience, browsing with Netscape, doing word-processing, and playing a couple games, has always been crash free and happy. My school had a pretty good system administrator, too, so they ran excellently. Also, Microsoft dominates the industry so much that Apple doesn't have much of a chance to advertise. I'm sure a lot more people would get Macs if they actually were publicized and there was more software.
I have to admit, though, I do dislike Macs. But that's mainly because they're too convoluted and that the amount of software for them leaves something to be desired. Besides which, Apple's sued just about everyone they could think of... which doesn't make them too impressive in my eyes. Other than that, though, I find them speedy and fun.
