People who claim they always see the BSOD or that their Windows machine always crashes are either lying or using broken hardware, much the same as I would say to anyone who says their Mac suffers in the same way.
In my experience of using Windows I've not seen many Blue Screens, granted. However it's more the way Windows hangs, freezes, locks up and simply won't respond that gets on most peoples nerves.
I work for a major UK bank and we have a network over 7 floors (in our building alone) with Windows XP machines. There's not a day in work where you complain at Windows running slow or locking up.
And on a personal note, the five PC's I owned before switching all suffered horrendous Windows performance from time to time and even my Father in Law who bought a brand new Packard Bell laptop running Vista, is becoming increasingly frustrated when all he wants to do is open Photoshop Elements and the system locks up, the cursor won't move, and he's told that the system has encountered an error and must close the program.
It's a little annoying how Windows users simply cannot accept that many people who have switched have a better experience on OS X compared to when they used Windows. In my experience, and watching those around me both personally and professionally, OS X is a more stable operating system and does not crash anywhere near as much. But then it depends on what you count as a crash. I count a crash as the system freezing when running a program and needing to use Force Quit, because it interrupts the user experience. Others count a crash as when the system freezes, graphical glitches appear on screen, and it looks completely and utterly broken.
Windows simply didn't let me work in manner which I felt was fluid and allowed me to simply use the computer and that is why I prefer OS X. You don't need to agree, you don't need to believe, and you don't need to accept my reasons ... but as I said, and this isn't aimed at you exclusively, it's becoming a little irritating that Mac users feel the need to have to justify why they switched to a Mac.
