Nicely put Jon.
As for me, Win2k.
When used properly, it is plenty stable. 20+ day uptime regularly.
When using Kazaa and other junky software, uptime drops dramaticly. Only other times I get instabiliy was overclocking to far and running specific software. Benchmarking software, Kazaa, WMP are amoung the few that I have had problems with
I also prefer PC's because of the many more options. While macs are begining to use standard parts, the expansion slots are not there. Mac's are desinged to be easy to use, you never have to open it up or understand how it works.
Me, I've been building my own systems since I was 8...
ahh....the good old days with the 386...it still works, BTW. Running DOS 6.2, with Linux going on it when I go find another NIC(network interface card) to stick in it.
My current system is about 4 months old. By getting a pc, I was able to configure it how I wanted.
Aluminum case
cdRw
40gb 7200rpm HD
256mb DDR ram
Ge2 64mb
Soyo Dragon Plus motherboard
Athlon XP 1700+
Got exatly what I wanted, and for $1200, including the 19" flat screen monitor.
Macs may look nicer then some pc's, but when I buff my case, it is nice and shinny...
