The same age old arguments flying back and forth... disolitude's comment above is one of the few of reason: to each his/her own. Although I'm not so sure about the missing drivers and stuff, that hasn't happened to me (yet). But yes, my mac has totally crashed on me a few times, although for the overwhelming majority of time it is performing rock solid. Not that Windows is/was terribly unstable either, at least from 2000 onwards in my experience, but I'd say that OS X is more stable than the flavors of Windows I've used.
I really like my mac, been a mac user and owner for 2 and a half years now, before that I was always a PC man, starting from using DOS sometime in the early/mid 80'ies. One thing I am pretty confident about, though: OS X and Windows are sufficiently different in their design philosophy that mixed use will create more frustration than anything. I guess especially if you're mainly a Windows-user, as evidenced by the complaints about the difficulty to really maximize a window in OS X. That was one of my complaints when I started using OS X as well, but in a short while I got used to the OS X way that windows don't have to cover up the whole screen, and now I practically never want to maximize anything. Apples and Oranges; it's a matter of learning a way of work, and I can't really say either is markedly better than the other.
One thing "us Mac people" ought to remember is that Macs are not meant for everybody, they are designed very carefully for a certain target audience, and Apple doesn't really seem to want to go beyond that. There's no point in pushing Macs for everybody and their dog, it's just not the way even Apple wants to go.
