Regarding stability. Well, let me put it this way. I support Macs and PCs running XP Pro at work. All are in air conditioned labs and left on permanently (apart from the summer months, when we close each lab individually for upgrades). The PCs seem to average around 6 months between crashes. The last time I saw a Mac properly crash (ie have to be physically reset) was in 1998, and that was a Power Mac G3 running OS 8. I have never seen Mac OSX crash.

True, MACs rarely crash, but that's not to say that the older OSs were actually stable. I've had to downgrade OS9 to OS8 in the past because some applications kept crashing. Very rare for this to happen on OSX though
