Meanwhile, back in the XP camp, all of a sudden I'm hearing about all of the bad old problems I remember from years ago on PC's. BSOD crashes, slow booting, cursor hangups, system freezes. Yep, I figured as much. No more Microsoft crapware for me. Now I own real computers that really work.

I built a new box in the middle of January, use my computer a good 14 hours a day since then, and with Win XP I haven't had a SINGLE BSOD, cursor hangup, or system freeze. EVER.

Good for you. Check back in about nine months or so. From what I have seen many XP installations start to have problems after about a year of solid use. Keep in mind I've been using OS X since 10.1 came out. I've been using 10.2 (Jaguar) for several months now with no problems at all. 10.1 was also stable but less robust. 10.2 is really nice, and from what I'm hearing 10.3 (Panther) will be even better.
