I work on computers all day, this is my opinion of them (I do earn a living from them though). Be sure to watch the top one first or the bottom won't make sense.

apple is very very good at marketing. they will make you believe the hype and pray you wont catch on to the fact that they just sold you a 2ghz machine for about doubble the price if the latest 3+ghz intell system goes for. not to say the computers are not good, or that osx isint a good os, but ive seen my share of brand new g5s have major issues.

PCs on the other hand suffered for years because microsoft still had to keep them compatible with the old DOS programs. this is basically the reason why a win 95-98-ME systems were so unstable. the OS didnt have protected memory addressing, so if one app crashed it took out the whole system.win 2000 and winXP basically changed all of that by ditching dos support all together and using a full 32bit os with protected memory addressing.

so the only thing that sets the apart is hardware. apple makes the os and controlls the hardware and in theory they should be able to make an os that would NEVER crash or have any issues at all. yet ive seen more then one mac crash, have cooling problems, etc.

imho, the best system is when you do research on the hardware and build your own pc running winXP. the computer i currenty have is the most stable system i have every owned. it never crashes or has any issues at all and it runs all day, every day for over 2years now.
