I'd say it's around 65/35 (percentage wise, Macs/PCs) for system failures. And no, the PCs aren't exponentially better than the Macs or more recent. They were purchased at the same time.
I'm not going to argue about this subject. But I stand by my belief that Macs aren't anymore stable than PCs. It just depends on who's using them. I can crash a Mac in 5 minutes if I try to do tasks at the same speed as on a PC.

Now the Mac's locking up, is that because of normal use and it's just having a bad day, or do the Mac's only lock up when someone does something that they know the Mac won't react well to? In my experiences, PC's lock up even when you are doing the most mundane thing and not even pushing it hard at all.
