You can get the stability of OS X by just using unix or linux. Then you put on top a nice desktop interface like GNOME. I keep considering to get a Mac, but it is the price that turns me off. Also, Macs weren't reliable (in my opinion) until they went to unix (their FreeBSD derived system). The previous versions would even give Windows competition in freezing. OS X is a beautiful operating system though, no doubt. In many ways it is what Linux should of been -- but then again, Linux is free and the hardware costs are much, much less.
Anyway, what will keep Windows King is applications. XP and Vista are certainly "good enough" for most corporations.. and all the major software the companies need is available many times only for Windows.
