Well, just a couple small things...

First off, don't compare anything to Win 9x... it's not used anymore, and of course it has problems. That's why it's not run anymore So comparing OSX to 9x, OSX will obviously win. Try comparing 9x to 9.x. I'm willing to say that 9.x has more problems then Windows 98. And the biggest problem is, you don't have the control in a Mac enviroment that you do in a Windows enviroment. (Yes, I do work on macs. We have 4 G4's and 1 G3 and about 150 pc's where I work, and we have more problems per mac then we do per pc. They're horrible machines, and when something goes wrong, we usually have to call a specialist because we're unable to recover it ourselves.)

Anyhow, as for current OS's, the only reason you should have to use a mac is graphical projects. Even then, the newer PC processors are so fast at crunching numbers, they're just as fast, if not faster, then the macs at graphical applications.
To say that an operating system is not used anymore is not really the most openminded thing a person can say. I have more than one computer in this house running Windows 9x, so that makes your first real point untrue, and invalid.

I'm not going to talk about OS X vs. Win9x.

Second, the statement that "the only reason you should have to use a mac is graphical projects" is insane.
How many of those Apple.com/switch commercials do you see with people talking about "The only reason I got a Mac was to produce professional quality computer animations"? None.

Gargargar. I could have elaborated a lot more, and been more concise, but I have this tendency not to be able to do that when I'm pissed off...
