Gotta love the PC-elitism...
Guess what, since 1987 I've built my own computers. I started with an 8088, moved on to a 386 (DX, none of that SX BS), and now have a P4 merrily burning a hole in my carpet at home. It's a file server, runs Ubuntu (ran Gentoo for a year and a half until I got tired of running emerge daily), and I play a game or two on it.
I actually work for a living now, so I don't have time to ***** around with a POS that doesn't work the first time you try to use it. My iMac fits my requirements (to date it hasn't crashed on me, and I've had it over a year). My wife uses our G4 PowerBook which is still plenty fast to do what she needs to do.
Could Apple computers be better? Sure, my PowerBook went through all sorts of growing pains the first year I owned it, but it's sorted out now. My iMac is a little loud--the fan is vaguely 747-like when I peg the CPU utilization. But the software is ridiculously easy to use, does everything I need it to, and doesn't crash.
I can't say the same about the machines I use that run Windows.
And yes, Outlook is an absolutely reprehensible piece of *****^H^H^Hoftware. I've never seen another application that freezes up as frequently or randomly as Outlook does. As the old saying goes,
