I have far more issues with OS X than with Windows. I get kernel panics, waking from sleep crashes, weird issues with external monitors not being detected as connected, or worse, disconnected.
Windows also offers a lot more customizations than OS X.
However, there are things I like about OS X also, like spaces and multi-touch trackpad support.
I use both on a daily basis.
- berberous 11y agoI don't disagree that quality has dropped a bit lately, but I don't think your experience with OS X is typical. I have not had a kernel panic in years. Maybe time you did a clean install.
- Osiris 11y agoThe panics I get are related to Thunderbolt, so I suspect it's an issue with the Thunderbolt kernel drivers. I run two external Apple Thunderbolt monitors and that's at the core of most of my issues.
- TheOtherHobbes 11y agoI run two external Thunderbolt monitors through a couple of cheap adaptor boxes and have never had a problem. I suspect RAM issues. OS X isn't great if - say - Chrome eats all the memory. And if the RAM itself isn't rock solid, you will get crashes. A lot of issues went away when I installed 32GB.
- SpaceCadetJones 11y agoThis could very well be it. I was about to comment that I've been using OS X for about 10 years and I'm pretty sure I can count the number of kernel panics I've had on my fingers. Most of those happened a long time ago.
