I'm happy with my Macs (17" Macbookpro, G5 Tower, G4 Tower, Iphone). My wife has a Sony Vaio and has had no problems with hardware, but the operating system (Vista) crashes every two or three months sometimes more often.

It's possible that Windows 7 will fix these problems, but I don't see what I would gain in switching to a Windows machine.

Vista was a catastrophe but I've been running Windows 7 since Beta and have never crashed and had no problems. It's much improved over Vista and I prefer it over XP even (my favorite OS for many years now).

What I don't understand about Apple is they have no problems with users running Bootcamp, VMware, Parallels, etc.. to be able to install a Windows operating system on an Apple. BUT they are adamantly against anyone installing their OSX on anything but Macs. How is that playing fair?!

I ran a dualboot 'Hackintosh' for a while but always went back to XP since I was a gamer. For a general use (ie- no games!) I think Macs are great though!
