I've owned 4 PCs, an IBM Think Pad with OS2 (way underpowered for the software, but never crashed), an Osborne "Portable," a HP Netbook (what junk) and 4 Macs. Only reason I run Parallels, is for ACT! and a few other programs, I like better than Mac programs. I even worked with one of the software writers who wrote ACT! for an add-on he created. He had overlooked a few glitches in the program, nobody else spotted.
Only hardware problem with Mac, was video card they replaced out of warranty. Genius Bar always fixes any problem for free, I can't solve. Try that at Best Buy with a PC.
Oldest Mac still in house is 4 years old. The older one got stolen out of the house. Was still working after 3 years despite dropping it twice. Damaged case.
As I said, I'll probably change the battery myself. Already have a set of the funky screwdrivers from when I replaced the battery in the MBP.
As for it taking 30 minutes installing a Win program. They aren't all that bad, but it wasn't my problem. Program install system was crap. Hell I've have install programs insisting on installing I.E.3 when I already had I.E.4 installed. Installing XP on the Mac is a 3 hour ordeal.
Oh yeah, when you buy a new PC, enjoy all that trial software that sucks up your hard drive. Then you have to buy extra software to get off the orphan files Uninstall doesn't remove.
