I need my laptop to make me a living and none of the software I use runs on a mac. They are just an overpriced paperweight to me.

It's allright if you just need something around the house to do emailing, web browsing etc., but then again so is a $300 netbook.

XP, Vista (after SP1), and now Windows 7, I have them all installed on my laptop (hobby of sorts) and they all perform flawlessly for me.
None of them has ever crashed, and I have had that laptop for a year now. Vista & XP where installed together since the first week I had it.

Windows is a very impressive operating system if you think about it. It runs on such a large variety of hardware from different companies, as opposed to apple who make their own os for their own hardware. That's relatively easy.

If you select good hardware for a PC you won't have any issues at all either, it's usually some cheap addon with bad drivers what causes all the grief.

I've noticed that mac owners often have the need to prove themselves and then seem to want everybody to use macs just because they feel it's best.
