Was just thinking about how funny it is that all the Mac users walk around and talk about how it makes sense to pay double for Macs because they are so much more reliable than PCs. Well, what exactly are they talking about? I've been using Windows XP since the day it came out, and my machine has never crashed. Not only that, but it's also on 24/7, so we're talking roughly 9500 hours worth of error-free operation. It can't get much better than that, can it?
Windows XP - 9500 hours crash-free and counting

*ahhh* hmm... uhhh.... "A Comparison of Liberal Views on..." wait... huh.... isn't this for a... math class...
i am so high right now.. i have no idea what's going on... oh wait.. what's this button do... oh man.. *BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP* oh fvck oh sh!t oh man what the hell's going on here

Then these 9500 hours dont really matter. I can get more than that by not turning a machine on for a while
My Mac goes crash free for months at a time. Not bad for a little laptop.
You get pissed that out of the box it has more features and is more usable than a Windows based OS?
Mac OS X has progressed steadily since its release. 10.1.5 is what I am using, and I have no stability problems with the OS.
Win2k/XP are not only setup in a piss poor manner, but their default installs leave a lot to be desired. Like functionality

And the ability to be installed on any number of hardware manufacturer's goods, instead of just a $1600 "baseline" tower system.
Oh, wait. Reverse that.

Like Sun hardware? Or how about a MIPS processor?
Mac OS X, all of it not just Darwin, will run on standard hardware. Standard being all parts conform to various standards. The only real non-standard part would be the equivilent of the chipset. So I can install Apple's OS on Apple's hardware, much like you can only install Dell's OEM OS on Dell hardware.
I didn't say features. I said USABILITY.
And yes, I get pissed. Lack of keyboard shortcuts and the single mouse button really cripples my performance. Taking a simple textbox as an example, I am so used to pushing home/end/ctrl+arrow, etc, which as far as my knowledge of Macs go, do not work on most control boxes. I get ticked when I have to hit the left arrow key 30 times when I am so used to just pushing the home key once.
