As far as your crashes are concerned were they in Virtual PC because that would be attributing the crash of your mac to a windows failure. VPC was almost always spotty anyway. If you need PC only programs by all means stick with a PC. If you like to surf the web, manage and alter photos, movies, music, video, need a spreadsheet, word processor, presentation, database, cad, animation, calander, contact management, basic tax or accounting, or email program you will do well with a mac and you'll do it with style and very intuitively. There I think I've covered the needs of 90% of the universe. Oh that's right if you have no life and really want to play cool games all the time buy an xboxor ps3. Macs cost more but a lot of the extra items you need to add to a pc ,like a wireless card for instance are already built into the mac, so the mac is good for people who want their computer to do things straight out of the box rather than requiring some Best buy IT a*hole to set it up for them.I have used both systems and can't emphasize enough how so many things that are so easy on a mac are chores on a pc. Now lets talk about where every PC innovation comes from.......... APPLE their operating system continuosly tries to emulate the mac os when are you dunces going to realise this. Every new use for a computer comes out on a mac first and then the PC world tries to match it.

We operate over 70 Apple computers in our environment here and approximately half of them require the use of Windows software. Bootcamp made it easy to let our computers run both OS X and Windows but it did not make it run well. Windows XP is plagued with crashes and restarts on the Apple computers whereas it continues chugging away on our PCs. I find it impossible to believe the problem is with Windows when our PCs operate without incident but on our Apple hardware it can be counted on to crash at least once per week per computer.
Describing people who play games as "having no life" is the typical stance an Apple advocate takes: egotism and superiority. Because you do not enjoy playing games, then obviously everyone else must follow in your footsteps lest they have "no life."
And Apple computers coming with hardware like wireless "out of the box?" Sure, if you order your computer with that. (Hint: you can order every name-brand PC with these options too, and amazing enough, it works when you turn on the computer!)
Apple advocates also love to push the "we did it first" argument, which is amusing in its own rights as Apple admitted to "borrowing" Xerox's ideas when they designed the original MacOS and more recently, "borrowing" ideas from NEXTSTEP for OS X. Innovation my ass. The only innovation I see coming from Apple is the iPhone and the iPod, but certainly not in their computers. You can dress up a pig but at the end of the day, it is still a pig.
Is the PC guilty of this? Of course it is. But most PC users understand that. They do not hide behind some false sense of superiority.
