I was using a dual processor G4 running the latest version of MacOSX, nice looking machine with dual monitors. I crashed it running the following simeultaneously: Photoshop, Fireworks, Safari w/ an applet running, Flash, Dreamweaver, and After Effects.. And Blammo, instant reboot..
I like the new OS, especially in the look and feel.. But for some reason, I could make some pretty powerful machines look like 486's. I also found out that Safari is not keen on some shockwave- checkout Nikelab.com on it.. Some of the little functions on there will crash it pretty quick
Having been forced to use Macs throughout my college career, I've used them quite a bit. While the lack of software sucks, my biggest problem has always been Macs inherent inability to multitask. Most Macs simply can't handle the way I work. I can crash most if them in a matter of seconds, given they have any memory intensive programs. The latest models I used were dual processor G4's with several gigs of memory. How I crashed these, I don't know, but I assure you it didn't take very long. On the other hand, I've had my PC crash once in 6 months of use. I contend that MacOS isn't nearly as stable as some might contend.
