Re: Apple Computer sides with Satan

I don't know. OS X seems stable enough. While I personally find that Windows
XP works fairly stable, OS X I've heard runs even more rock steady, but here I'm
going to hearsay.

On the other hand, if such a port were to happen and the number of PCs running
it were to reach a certain number, then all the nut cases out there would start
writing more viruses and other stuff for OS X. Perhaps that will tell us how
stable OS X really is.

It's just another possible development. We'll have to wait and see.
