Useful perspective, Matt, thanks.


Personally, I think there's a gulf separating "professional" Windows setups - those with plenty of skilled support on hand - and "non-professional" ones - those, including small businesses and home users, who lack guidance and backup when things go wrong.


It's great to hear that the BSOD and related hangups are becoming a thing of the past, but in small business and domestic situations I've continued to see plenty of them in recent years.


I agree with your other point - that Macs can and do fail more often that some people give them credit for.

    Excellent point, Giles. I've lost count of the number of rebuilds I have done for family members' Windows machines.
