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.

Selective memory is an amazing thing. Apple hobbled along badly for many years until finally using bsd to get stable.. Just like they hobbled along grunt-wise until finally using intel. Also yes please, let me switch to whatever system Lord Jobs says I am allowed to have right now, never mind I might be getting caught just behind their next wave of configurations or *gasp* actually want to be unique and not just be told I am and create a specific config for my situation.
