Windows is stable if you know how to manage it.

Well we have 3 DNA sequencers that run windows, we have no control over their software and they suck... and don't even get me started on anything Intuit makes or Exchange or the dozens of other crappy things that people sell. It's not the management of the servers it second rate software..

The majority of (personal) users don't care about uptime. There isn't a
single Mac ad that shows it running for months without a reboot. I'd buy a
Mac in a heartbeat but it doesn't support games for crap. Macs will have
marketshare when they have the software catalog of Windows which is never.
Save the emulator argument.

Uhhh we aren't the average user, so we are concerned.... and it's quality over quantity....
