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.
XP. I find that every so often, XP just goes 'out to lunch', starts
thrashing the disk and becomes hugely unresponsive. Maybe I'm too ambitious
in running Word, Outlook, VS.NET 2005 and BDS all at the same time, but I
don't get these problems on a heavily-loaded Mac.
It is more intuitive, plugging in new hardware (like the iChat camera and
such) was a joy,
Indeed. As I've said elsewhere, I've got three makes of digital camera: a
Canon, a Sony and a Kodak. I can plug all of 'em into any of my Mac and the
machine instantly recognises the device. Plug them into one of my available
XP machines and I get rude "unrecognised device" messages, requests for
driver disks (again!) and so forth. It's pathetic.
but I wouldn't say it was less buggy than Windows. And it was in no way
faster on the Mac Mini :)
Well, the Mac Mini isn't exactly Apple's top-of-the-line machine. But my
son can run XP perfectly aqequately under Parallels on his Mini...when he
*has* to. :-)
