My question is, if you are tired of Windows and its problems, why do you put up with it? Why not switch to Mac or Linux? Its like owning a Kia that always gives you problems but you still keep it. You would think most people would get rid of it for a Honda. Sure, the Honda might cost a bit more, but you know its going to be reliable and a great car.
Don't be a fucking troll.
How long did it take apple to get OS/X? Do you even remember the horrors of System 9 / 8 etc?

Not to mention that the stability comes from darwin / bsd.

In any case, without trying to be inflammatory - serious question for you to ponder..

Mac: The OS only has to handle one set of known hardware configuations.
PC: The OS has to handle literally billions of hardware configurations, dating back over 15 years.

The sheer task of maintaining compatibility etc on Windows is amazing - honestly, amazing.
