Mine's crashed a few times since I've had it, it's over a years old and probably only crashed 5 times, and that's because some things didn't want to work :/

I personally don't see any difference between the two, both can design and play music, but that's when the comparison stops if you want to take it to the extremes, because Vista/XP can play more games, and has more software available for music and design. So technically Windows is the better system because it has all the support, easier to solves issues (My aunty has a MacBook which deleted it's own OS) and can do what a Mac does, but 100 times more :/ I don't even see why people think a Mac is better than designing than a PC, both use Adobe Photoshop so they have the same tools. I think the only good program on a Mac is that GarageBand thing.

Amazingly said.

+REP and agreed. (edit: got to spread...) I rarely give out rep, last rep I gave away was at least 2 month ago... :P

I personally love windows, only want to use windows, and wouldn't change from windows if somebody paid me £1000 to switch over.

I would take the money and use windows anyway

Take the money, install Windows on Mac hardware. Done.

Can you stop Mac OS from requiring a password all the time, kinda have it like Vista's UAC where you just click allow?

Dumb part-of-post... You say that for Windows to have a problem, the user has to be stupid and that if you get a virus, it's the users fault. Well, on a Mac, if the OS gets deleted, the user has to be stupid (not offending your aunty or anything, I'm just saying). No way would OS X ever delete itself, the user would of had to of done something.

If you didn't have a password on your account I assume you could press OK without typing anything. It never really bothers me because I just remember it's keeping my system safe. :)

Also, Adobe CS is better on the PC than it is for Mac, but hopefully this will change with CS4.

I agree with Dark. I have a pc and a mac each gets there use everyday.. The mac slightly more only because it's a laptop.

I have Windows and use Windows but I would really like to buy a Mac for designing, although I'll never have the money spare.

I mean, can you give your account a password, so you can enter it when you come off screensaver, but still have something like UAC, Windows lets you setup enter password on screensaver, while just allowing you to click Allow on the UAC prompts, they say UAC is annoying... Mac OS asking for a password takes a lot longer then pressing allow, surely thats more annoying? That's why I was asking if it could be made like Windows :P

Yes, If your account has a password. You can enable the option when you come off "Screensaver" you have to put your password in. I rather enter the password for the reason I have said above.
