Strange. I've been using OSX for about 18 months now, and in almost every respect it's faster, more reliable, more intuitive and just plain less buggy than Windows.


What version of Windows would that be? Windows 98? I haven't had a bluescreen on Windows since Windows 2000. And my experiece with the Mac Mini was just the opposite than what you describe, it crashed on me several times.

It is more intuitive, plugging in new hardware (like the iChat camera and such) was a joy, but I wouldn't say it was less buggy than Windows. And it was in no way faster on the Mac Mini :)


The PC certainly has "more" software. I don't see that it has "better" software except (as noted) in the area of development tools.


Well, I'll have to disagree with you on that one :)
