We have had Macs since the first personal computer made its appearance in our home in 1984. Granted things have changed considerably over the years, but a friend and fellow Mac enthusiast was once interviewed about his preference, and he pointed out that a particular instruction (might have been installation, but can't remember...) for the PC took three columns of print, while that for the Mac was a single paragraph.
Remember when Microsoft was creating demand with tons of hype about its (then) forthcoming 'Wondows 95'? (Yes, this is quite a few years ago.) When it finally came out, we Macheads looked at it and said, 'Ho hum, it looks like Mac 89.' And it did! At that time all Windows was was an interface between DOS inside the machine and the user outside that made it LOOK like a Mac but certainly not PERFORM like a Mac!
Apple did not market well, and Windows took over the business world, and to this day there is software that is not available for the limited (but again growing) Mac market. But there is no doubt that Macs then and Macs now are INFINITELY MORE STABLE AND NOT SUBJECT TO CRASHES the way Windows was then and still is now, so I've been told....
Here is an interesting link for free, open-source Mac software; it's well worth checking:
