Stick with windows, sell Apple, and remeber Linux is free and it is worth every penny.

That and more. Ever had a Windows box run for 722 days without crashing?

We had a VMS(4.?) system on an old DEC11 that was up for something like 11 years. It had a UPS so even when power was gone it kept ticking. Was used for a mail/printer server.

My computer has an off switch, I don't need one that will run that long, besides I will replace it before than.

As I said, Linux is free and worth every penny.
