Based on long experience with both systems, I respectfully disagree. While most PCs are fine, the Windoze platform is inherently unstable, and Microsoft just doesn't care. They rather spend their money on marketing and driving the competition out of business than improving their products. Of course, they come up with a new version as often as the can, as planned obsolescence, but that doesn't mean the newer version is better in terms of reliability; usually, the opposite is true. And most of us just follow along like sheep to the slaughter ....
