OS X is a stable platform but you really have to know what you are doing (and a background in Linux doesn't hurt) if you are going to correctly diagnose and fix them. Or knowing someone who specializes in them doesn't hurt. With Windows, any 15 year old kid can usually fix them.

    This is true, because I started my computer engineering when I was 16 I think lol and windows was simple then, but I mainly did the Hardware repair on stuff like that .... software wasn't and still isn't my deal and I made a A- on that class when it came to that

      I'm president of a small computer firm so I've seen practically everything. I just don't support Macs because there's enough Windows work without having to worry about it. I've used a Mac so I can see why people like it. It's laid out well and it usually just works.

          It's true because the backbone of the operating system is based on Linux. There is only one real virus for Linux and it was patched years ago. Most Linux users hate Microsoft and wouldn't dream of writing a virus for their operating system. Besides...if someone did write one, they'd have a patch for it in just minutes. Linux is an operating system written by regular people and computer labs from universities. They don't have the same corporate BS as Microsoft to get a patch together. Apple had the right idea by adapting Linux as their core.

          Here's a good read from Stanford:

            Yeah My engineering teacher said that most colleges use Linux but at the one im in and idk if it applies for community colleges or not but they're using Micrsoft XP ..... or it may still be Windows 2000 but I want to go look at a mac and maybe buy one in the near future, the only program I see that would be in most use for college is the Word for mac but im sure Apple has an answer to that

              Just make sure you know there aren't as many programs available for the Mac. Many programs are available but they are several versions behind. The PC has an open architecture so anyone can write software for it. The Mac isn't as friendly so the programs are stagnant and more expensive. Solid machines though.
