Software selection?
If you mean games, then yeah, that's why I always have a PC, and have for years.
But what do you use a computer for most of the time? My mac is in the den, and what I like is that it fits the small built-in desk, makes zero noise, and takes zero attention of mine to keep running. What does it get used for? Surfing the web, organizing pictures and home video, email, the occasional video chat so the kids can talk to grandpa. It does all of the above perfectly well. So if you need a machine for that functionality (or other stuff like presentations, etc), it's a fine choice, particularly given the small footprint in both size and noise. Again, it's an appliance, nothing more.
As I said above, I bet using the same trivial apps, my PC would be just as easy and stable as my macs—except for having to worry about viruses, etc, I suppose (AVG seems to do a good job though). In effect it's the wide variety of software (read: "games") that makes the PC unstable, and a PITA. I've never even thought about video drivers on my macs, for example. Not once—why would I, I don't push them, lol. On my PC though, it's a constant battle to try this driver, works with Il-2, breaks SH4, yada, yada, yada. A major PITA, and all because I have too many games
But, the mac bashers will still bash, and the mac loons will similarly ignore me when I say that their macs are only more stable because they don;t beat them up with more games (since there aren't any
)
