To see the big picture you need to break down the so called stats on win os problems with low end dell and emachine hardware. Those of us that build our own systems don't have win os conflicts or those that buy higher end systems either. But given the fact that low end junk is pushed via tv ads from dell to the misinformed consumer its little wonder why cheap hardware problems are blamed on the os.

Your experiences do not disprove stats. Of course not. That was not the point. I believe someone wrote and said it was almost a universal experience among Windows users. I wrote back and related my experiences, with a Windows PC at work and a Mac at home. Of course, you referred to stats without posting any or linking to any stats about the reliability or need to reboot for Windows XP. I was delighted when my old Bondi Blue Rev. B iMac got to System 9. With enough RAM (384 meg is what I upgraded it to), it was the first real stable OS I had experienced with a Mac. System 7.xx was a bad as Windows 95, in my experience :-). I am even more delighted with my 20 inch iMac and OS 10.4.9
