Mac OS isn't as hot as people put it out to be. It is fine if you don't mind having fun on your computer, but if you're a person that likes to be entertained occasionally, (and I don't mean youtube) you should probly stick with a PC. From what I've heard, the OS is very stable, although the parts and configurations are often inferior, and could be much faster.

Additionally, Vista isn't quite as unstable as people put out, at least since SP1, although it does still have a few glitches (usually due to the 3rd party software)

I agree, I haven't defragged once since I installed it on my laptop months ago and its still as fast as ever.
