Windows 7 already bigger than Snow Leopard and Linux combined (Download Squad)

Windows works on a wide, wide, wide, wide array of hardware, which is why new releases of it lock up. Mac OSX will _only_ work on hardware designed by the same company that makes the hardware.

The reason they don't let you run OSX on a non-mac PC is because it would not be stable, would crash all the time. When you know exactly what hardware your OS is going to be installed on, of course it's going to be stable. The fact that Windows works at all on the huge array of systems out there is impressive - Ubuntu Linux, while functional on a wide array of computers, has big driver issues for newer hardware and crashes regularly unless you've worked on it for days to get all the kinks out.

Mac fanboys constantly bragging about how their OS doesn't crash is like bragging about how your TV remote works better on your Fujitsuhama TV than the universal all-in-one remote that everyone else uses. You miss the compatibility point entirely.
