Yeah.. I'm not too hot on them but its advertising. I don't look to a commercial to tell me that I prefer my Macbook to my Windows XP machine.
On the topic of crashes:
I'd only point out that if Windows is allowing an application to bring the entire machine to a halt (or even worse, crash the whole system), that's a failure of Windows to control the applications running under it. I understand that OSX can have the same issues and I'll openly blame OSX for those failures. But blaming a poorly written application for a system crash is unacceptable, IMHO... the core system software should be designed to prevent such things.... IMHO, of course.
On the topic of software availability:
While I very much agree that OSX doesn't have anywhere near the number of GUI-based applications that Windows does, when you consider things like the Ports collection and all the UNIX CLI applications/utilities, there really is a TON of software that Apple needs to worry about in terms of compatibility.
If your point was that Microsoft has to worry about more commercial / high-profile applications, I do very much agree with that; in which case you can ignore this part of my rant!
The post has been reported. Thank you!
