Not saying you don't have problems with Mac, it's just you don't have quite as MUCH problems as Windows.
thats an apples to ORANGES comparison

If you're running VISTA on 512Mb RAM you're INSANE. Windows hasn't run properly on only 512Mb RAM since win2k (ran pretty damn fine with 256Mb)

The Mac with 64Mb? Go ahead and try running the latest OS from apple on that... have fun LMAO

Another thing... Is quality of OEM machines... Things like HP's tend to use POS motherboards. Spend $100 on a quality motherboard from a company like Asus and it'll be far more stable than a cheapo board. Same with the RAM... cheap shit SUCKS

If you use higher quality components to build your PC your experience goes up considerably. Apple does use higher quality parts for the most part than HP uses in their low end PC's. I've also commonly found insanely underpowered power supplies in OEM machines.
