I wasn't aware that the MacOS is unstable !? Actually, implying that the MacOS is more unstable than Win98 kinda makes me laugh. I mean it's not perfect, the memory allocation issues being my biggest annoyance, but overall I think it just feels "smoother" and less cluttered than Windows. It seems to be more logically laid out and there are less conflicting elements in the OS. I don't know, you just generally don't hear Mac users complain about how the OS they use sucks, like you do from Windows people.

Isn't it kinda early to say that ? Plus I just find that hard to believe. Andrei
