Windows is junky! There are so many old pieces of junk scattered everywhere you're forever tripping over them.

"mysterious glitches that often make Windows a challenge"

The hardware and software are built together from the ground up. That's why there fewer problems with Apple than Windows machines. Of course the paucity of worms written for OSX is due in no small part to Apple's small market share. As the Mac Mini becomes more popular, that will change. But its hard to write a virus or a worm for a UNIX based OS since there's no registry to write to and save information.
