Praises for the Mac

ZD Net has a good arti­cle about PC’s pro­cliv­ity to crash, and a Mac’s pro­cliv­ity to not crash.

It’s another shot in the ongo­ing Mac vs. Win­dows debate.

Here’s one of the better nuggests:

In my com­put­ing life, there’s one con­stant: The Macs don’t crash and the Win­dows machines do.

Having run and admin­is­tered both PCs and Macs (OS7-X), I can say that Macs are far more reli­able. Thanks to OS X‘s Unix under­pin­nings it now has enough geek-​itude to keep my inter­est while still boast­ing one of the best inter­faces to date (though not as good as OS 9′s, Gruber and I agree).

If you’re con­sid­er­ing buying a new machine, take it from me, the extra money you spend (and it’s not that much) on a Mac will more than pay itself back in spades in terms of fewer crashes, fewer sup­port calls, and better ser­vice and sup­port when you do need it.
