Please post something other than bashing and false information. While there are many Wintel users who do bash Macs, "reverse pc racism" and false information on your part doesn't help matters or contribute to actually enlightening society -- try taking the high-road some time.
All of this "PC's crash -- PC's don't work -- Mac's are superior" garbage gets real old real fast.
One platform is no better than the other when all things are considered using common sense (which isn't so common any more) -- there are some differences but all are tools for a purpose.
I have been doing Corporate IT since 1995 for three corporations with 99% Wintel-based networks, servers and workstations, with over 99.99% 24:7:365 up-time (approx. 3 hours downtime in 15 years across all 3 corps. and that was a server ps failure) -- because the suits trust me to have complete control over how the networks are managed -- and I know what I'm doing (15 years of hardware design, embedded systems, etc. before doing IT).
For my own computer use I assemble and maintain all of my PCs which include Windows and Linux boxes -- and guess what? No AV, no BSODs, virtually no hardware issues in decades. Some crap third-party software and a few failing hardware components but those plague all platforms.
Maybe you need to start associating with someone who actually knows how to set up and maintain a Wintel box properly and you won't have all of these issues. Or take the time to learn it yourself.
Yes, a person is required to know at least a bit about how to properly install and configure and operate a Wintel system, just like you need a Mac-head or a Linux-guru to successfully use those platforms. And don't give me the typical "Macs are so easy you don't need to know anything about computers" drivel -- we all know that is bunking sod.
All three platforms are good, all three are capable of getting the job done, all three are just as solid and secure as the other.
