I bought a MacBook Pro about 8 or 9 months ago. Finally talked into it by my graphic artist mac heads. Fully loaded with ram and the biggest hard drive I could buy. I bought office for Mac so I can still use Excel. Have been working with OSX since, and like it. My next machine will be another MacBook when they replace the HD with flash technology.
Soooooooo far I have not had one "osx has committed a fatal error and is shutting down" nor have I had any "green screens of death".
Even if my Dell and HP and Gateway friends tell me it is a fruity computer (the apple with a bite out of it on its cover) the apple does not have a worm coming out of it. I want to get some multicolor apple decals to stick on all of the new HP servers at work that are running unix.
Long live apple!! They just need to market OSX for Intel machines. To all of you Mac fans, why did they not do that yet?

Apple did do the license thing once before and it was an abysmal failure.
Quality control of the clones went right out the window.
It's not just the OS, it's also the hardware.
By controlling both they maintain quality and reliability.
