I agree on your point about trying before bashing. I've tried Vista. Hell, I had to use it for 2 months solid while I was working in India, so I really got to test it out. I had more crashes on that in the 2 months I was using it than I had on Fedora in 2 years. Now, admittedly I was working on Vista during every working hour, and I only use my Fedora machine at weekends and evenings, but I think if you tally up the total time, it was really not in Windows' favour. As an OS, XP was not all that bad, but I've found I really do prefer the way Linux behaves, that and I can get pretty much whatever software I want for free, which just isn't always so easy with Windows.
I spend at least 10 to 12 hours per day (including weekends) working on my machine and I've been running my current Mac for over 6 years with my Mac experience dating back to 1984 (the original 128k Mac, which I still have).
In the last 6 years, I remember my current Mac locking up only once and that was on start-up after I had installed additional drive. I had to hold the "on" button to get it to shut down. But, the next boot was uneventful.
Yet people think that the occasional crash is acceptable when working with computers. I can only say, they must not be Mac people.
