Are you kidding me? If I follow what you're saying, you've had Windows run crash free for 3-5 months? If so, you should contact Microsoft so they can make a commercial about you... might halt some of the abandonment from Windows to Mac if people actually believed that. Sorry to sound so cynical here, but the unavoidable truth is that Mac is much much less prone to crashing (at the OS level) than Windows. Sure, applications still crash, but when they do they don't pull down the entire OS in the process.
Interestingly, nobody (including myself in a previous post on this thread) has brought up the fact that Mac is also not susceptible to the Virus/Spyware issues that Windows is, so I'll add it now. Not trying to sound like a Mac commercial, and also understanding that this point is not directly relevant to the initial question about Win vs Mac as development environment, but the fact I don't have Norton/McAfee/Live OneCare/etc... running on my machine helps networking and performance on my machine too :-) Brendan On Tue, Oct 28, 2008 at 9:06 PM, Dmitri Girski <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > --- In [email protected] <flexcoders%40yahoogroups.com>, > "ross_w_henderson" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Dealing with multiple daily crashes/freezes was something I had > become> used to. > > Hmmm, my development PC with WinXP has usual uptime 90-150 days and > not because of the crashes/freezes, but because of the system updates > which require reboots. > > Could you please tell me what I am doing wrong? > I feel kind of avoided by something very important. > > Cheers, > Dmitri. > > > -- Brendan Meutzner http://www.meutzner.com/blog/
