I agree that today, with the release of Win 95, NT 4.0 and MacOS 8.0 crashes are a non issue.

I'd go further and say that ease of use is also a non issue. As an end user I find Win95 or MacOS equally (un)appealing. The Mac does have an edge when it comes to COM (Cost of Maintenance).

Mac bulls are the ones clinging to glories past, however irrelevant (or untrue) they might be today.

The Mac does have its fortes, such as graphic design market, it also has some past achievements to which M$ has caught up to, and lastly it also enjoys some totally undeserved praise in some areas. (Say Apple *never* was consumer friendly. Starting with leaving Apple ][ users out in the cold, and then overcharging loyal Mac users for their expensive Macs.)
