Learn to manage your computer better. I don't mean you personally, I mean everyone who uses that argument. You should never get spyware, viruses, or any other unwanted software on a good computer regardless of if it uses windows or OSX. All it takes to avoid them is a little responsibility.

I have never had problems with any windows computer I have ever owned crashing since windows 3.1. I have literally had over a dozen macs running various versions of the mac os sh*t themselves out on me at school, although it's only happened once with osx. I have to admit I like quite a few things about osx.

You don't have to spent half your time dinking about with them tying to get a peripheral or a network connection to work.

I've never had any problems with either of those using either a windows based computer or a mac.
