Take a good quality PC and install Linux. Hardly any downtime
and Linux flies on hardware that could no longer be used with
modern Windows or OS X. [ Reply to This | Parent | # ]

two point about software stability.
If you are a careful owner Windows (any version) can be as stable as any other
OS. Just don't let it go out on the net without a hardware firewall. Apply
updates to the OS and all application programs. But most importantly do as you
do in live, don't try to be cute, but learn how to live safely.
The same rules is true for any computer and operating system, also for OS/X and
Linux.
I have worked with all Windows versions and the only crashes I have had has been
caused by hardware faults and program misconfiguration.
In the hand of the unwary an Apple computer crashes as easily as a Windows
computer.
It is the man not the machine.
Or as somebody has said: Most computer problem is caused by the idiot behind the
keyboard.
As far as I know a version of it was first said in the 60th.

One just has to look at the Win3.1 days. HP, Compaq et al customised their
Windows experience, and it paid - they had relatively low return rates.
Then MS "standardised" the UI with Win95 and that advantage
evaporated.
That's why, if we succeed in knocking MS off their pre-install perch, we will
get good desktop linuxes - it WILL PAY the big guys to make sure the gui works
well on their boxes.
