Like I said, "no anecdotal evidence" please. Forgive me for not taking someone who is so biased at their word regarding the relative stability of Windows vs. Mac. You can't show me evidence that what you say is true because its not.
"Xerox had some good ideas taken from SRI, but it took Apple to bring
them to the world. Today, everyone uses the Mac OS, not the Xerox one
when you think about it." OK, so Apple brought the GUI to the market first. That doesn't make it better, it just makes it first. Plus, they stole it from PARC and Xerox.
The idea that XP or Vista wasn't developed to be on the internet is just plain absurd. Of course, earlier versions weren't. But, that's true of OSX too.
Mac OS is about as far from Unix as one can get.
Someday, probably in the next 5 years, Apple will go out of the computer business. The iPod saved it from bankruptcy. Unless the next iPod comes along, it wont be long.
Forgive me for not using Linux, I have actual work to get done.
Enjoy your koolaid
