I'll take boring any day....much better than, oh cr#p my hdrive has been taken over by aliens from mars! Seriously, I've used OSX since it was beta, I have XP on a couple of machines. The key to OSX performance is matching the version to the hardware. I'm using 10.5 on a twin G4 1.8 MHz and its adequate. On a G3 the performance would decrease significantly. I'm using 10.6 on Intel MacBooks and a Mini and it runs great. Like the Amiga, the Mac OS is built for the hardware. To get integration on a Windows machine you need to add multiple drivers increasing the complexity of the system. Complex systems, by their nature, are more difficult to control.
No virus to speak of, rarely crashes and if it does it has a system built back-up called Time Machine. Thanks but I'll take boring in my system and exciting in the software I want to run on the system.
I came back to Commodore computers to find some excitement in my computing. For work related computing I'll stick to boring systems with solid hardware....Mac!
