Here’s something that should embarrass Microsoft’s OEM partners: The most reliable Windows PC in the world wasn’t even designed to run on Windows. ZDNet reports that a new study from PC efficiency software vendor Soluto has used “data from its massive online database of PC crashes, hangs, and performance metrics to identify the 10 most reliable Windows PCs you can buy today.” The study found that the 13-inch Retina-equipped MacBook Pro with Boot Camp installed is “at the top of the list.” Other reliable PCs include the Acer Aspire E1-571, the Dell XPS 13, the Dell Vostro 3560, the Acer Aspire V3-771 and Apple’s 15-inch Retina-equipped MacBook Pro. Taken all together, then, Apple computers account for 33% of the six most reliable Windows PCs in the world while no PCs produced by the world’s leading vendor HP even crack the top 10.

Sorry don't buy it, Windows has a far larger user base, and frequently the user is the root cause of issue. I really cant remember the last time I saw a "Blue Screen" both OS X and Windows 7 are extremely stable operating systems, this article to me is no more than "Spin" Personally I prefer OS X, however is Windows not inherently unstable it`s native hardware of recent year...

A load of the proverbial matter.

I've had more issues on the Mac mini than with IBM and later Lenovo Thinkpad's. Toshiba was good too but had some issues finding support when travelling.

The ONLY reason I've got a MAc mini is that I needed a larger screen since my eyesight is no longer what it used to be and is deteriorating too fast for my liking. There is no other small formfactor personal computer that is as small and does what I want it to do and can be serviced locally.

Haha that's funny I bet most Mac users have installed Windows on their Mac at some point in their lives - or am I wrong about that?
