I won't disagree with this. I'm an industry consultant and so I've seen the horror stories. But at the same time, I really don't use Windows that often at all -- it's certainly possible that they've come a long way and have really improved things. I am running Windows7 on my Mac and while I don't use it very often, when I do, it seems to work fine. A lot of the Mac vs PC thing could certainly pertain to the long history of the two platforms. Maybe I wasn't being fair, because my decision to move to Mac happened 10 years ago when there was a bigger difference.
On a related note, Apple just does a really really really incredible, amazing, and great job of marketing.
This hilarious clip does a good job of "proving" that
