There are quite a few reasons the Macs today are better.

1. (Like it's been said) They control both the hardware and software side. So, the machines they put out are stable as hell. The OS also is Unix based, and if an app does on the extremely rare occasion hang, it does not bring any other apps with it.

2. Being the market share has been small, it's been largely ignored by the virus/malware types.

I use to buy 1 or 2 PC's a year. Now, I find myself buying and using a MAC every 5 years or so. It's just that they are so well built, there really is no need to replace them as fast.

I have macbook pro 17 thats pretty much my primary computer. hooked up to a 27' monitor and connected via firewire 800 to 3 terabyte lacie drives. it's stays on and in use 24/7 and has for the most part of 5 years at this point without a hiccup. The Only issue with it has been over the 5 years I have had to replace the battery once, and now it's looking like I need to again as I'm only getting about an hour out of it again, but I only really use it as power backup.
