I call bullshit on this. The only reason they APPEAR to be more stable is because most people use Macs are college students just dicking around on Facebook. Given the limited hardware drivers required there isn't much to go wrong. Push any Mac hard using their Audio & Video production tools and I guarantee you there are just as many stability issues than any power user on a PC. Variable latency issues in the Core Audio driver that hasn't been resolved properly for years. The dreaded eternally spinning beach ball. You use only MS software on a clean install of Windows and you'll have PC just as stable as a Mac. Like a Mac using 3rd party plug ins, you bring 3rd party software onto a PC (which is the reason why you'd own a PC, because everything is made for it) and you get problems. At the end of the day, OS X is massively lacking in the enterprise environment and for that reason will always be a niche player in the market. They appear to have no desire to even move into this space now they are bringing MS Exchange integration into the featureset of the iPhone and Snow Leopard. |
Blah I hate that especially while I'm working in software like Final Cut Pro. Then, having to force quit out of a program like that is similar to using Window's Task Manager. It takes a second to load up and the program takes a moment to be stopped. However, can OSX show everything that uses ram like you can in Windows (since you usually have to go to that to force a program to end with Windows).
