I've owned 3 macs and built several PCs and owned several PC laptops. 2 of the three macs were just as buggy as all of the PC laptops I've had, but the desktop dual G4 had MANY more issues than my desktops ever had. On the laptops, my MBP is 3 weeks old and is running great, I love the thing, but I also have a Dell XPS 1530 and it also runs fantastic (yes, with vista, which isn't horrible at all). Now, if I had to get the MBP serviced, I'd have to contact apple/take it to a store, wait for parts most likely, wait for the swap, possibly pay for the fix, 2-3 days of my spare time wasted on fixing it. If my XPS broke (I've had a heat issue and an issue with the CDROM), I get online with dell tech support (@ 7pm after work, while the kids eat dinner), a service requested is filed, and within 2 days someone is on site fixing my laptop, while I work/do my normal routine. I'm a fan of both Windows and OSX (and linux) all for different reasons, but I'd much rather have to deal with Dell's tech support instead of Apples. On another note, anything with moving parts like a computer, and critical components like a computer, is prone to problems and breaking, doesn't matter which company you buy from, the chances of it breaking are still there.
