Every mac is made by apple with in house quality control while a windows machine could be built by any number of hundreds of makers. A properly configured windows machine should work fine but it is not that easy to find one. We have two work stations at the lab - a Mac, I insisted, and a windows machine-a pretty expensive Dell tower- the Dell is a machine that has never worked right from the out set-windows always wants to do things that you haven't asked for while the Mac just hums right along. Same with my wife's Gateway- it is a really good looking well designed machine but doesn't work right-ie opens strange files unprompted-launches install commands for programs already present-turns on by itself- connects to the internet unprompted.. If you are a power user and can absolutely get the confiquration you need windows works fine- if not a Mac is just "easier on the brain" Windows are also very vulnerable to infections-Macs much less so..
