I believe much of the problem lies with how programs are installed & uninstalled on windows.
I'm on Windows 7 - and it rocks! It's been close to 3 years now, and while I have made some upgrades to the hardware, lost a power supply, and had a stick of ram pop which I then upgraded from 4 to 8 gigs of ram.... and right now, my bios battery is 100% dead - overall though, Win7 wise - without question, the best OS windows has ever made.

I've had to rebuild Mac's because they slowed to a crawl... it depends on how they are used.

If the machine is a work horse, video machine or whatever. Both will take a beating, both will need parts replaced faster, and overtime both will slow to a crawl, making a rebuild a must to get the performance back.

As equal as they may be in that area, when it comes time to rebuild those two machines, the Win Pc will cost half the amount of money and get even faster parts, while the Mac will get the same parts or slightly upgraded parts, for twice the cost.
