Steve Watkins: Why OS X Matters. “Our iMac installation of OS X is over four months old and has not crashed — not once… My installation on the accelerated Power Mac 8500 is about three months old and has only destabilized once. It did not 'crash' per se. I was able to successfully reboot using the menu choice, without having to resort to a 'hardware reset.' No Windows PC in our company can go for more than a few days without having to be rebooted.” That's been my experience as well. [Jake's Brainpan]
