Stability or viruses are not really an issue. I see the main differences in interface design (+++ for mac) and price (+++ for pc). My XP workstation runs as stable as OSX and I can kill any frozen app at any time (CTRL-ALT-DEL); but I can't remember when I needed that hack the last time. Most viruses are kept back by my ISP or my mailserver. The (very) few incoming ones are killed by a local application. But I definitely miss something like the "finder" on my pc...
