The man spent 35 years telling us all how great the Motorolla chip was, then it was the Power PC chip. Surely us lowly serfs that had to suffer it out with Intel stuff didn't know what we were missing -- just like a bunch of lemmings to the sea.

And then what happened? Steve must have gotten tired of all the fun he was having with hardware emulation in software. Switched to an Intel platform with Wintel graphics so users could really run Win software that was needed to do what needed doing. Isn't that kinda going down market, according to his earlier pronouncements?

Actually it should come as no big surprise that reliability between the two platforms is that close because when you dig through all the hype, Mac is running the same hardware. What kinda shows up though, is if both platforms are relatively as stable as each other, then all the grousing we have heard about flakiness of Win and stability of Mac should show up with a Mac being a lot more stable. Why doesn't it? Maybe OS X isn't all that stable when it is subjected to real analysis and we don't have to rely on anectodal evidence submitted by those who seem to have paid more than necessary and are trying to self-justify.

I dunno? Interesting though.
