I'd rather have Microsoft's money than Apple's.

But, working on both everyday, I greatly prefer Windows 7. I work twice as fast on it than OSX.
Finally I feel like I'm using a windows operating system that was built this decade... and it only took the whole decade to make!

Still like OS X better, and Windows 7 is still Windows when it comes down to it, but there's some neat stuff in 7 and it's great that people are upgrading. You don't have to be happy with XP anymore.

There's only so many winking racist remarks a guy can make before people begin to wonder if the wink isn't just a nervous tic.

I think the beachball clip was a thinly veiled homophobic jab, because it resembles a rainbow and was portrayed with irony, depicted as someone lackadaisical and undecided and superfluous.

Stan's schemes and his solutions to various problems are so bizarre that they are hilarious.

Not saying the beach ball is a common thing, but it does have a significant presence in the <20hours of lifetime experience I have behind the wheel of a Mac.

If all you have is a bunch of factory fresh PCs with updates, then BSODs are quite rare. If you're adding and subtracting hardware and software (with kernel extensions and whatever the windows equivalent is, large registry alterations?), its pretty easy to get BSODs and KPs, depending on what it is that you're trying to do.
If your job is to maintain stability on a bunch of vanilla productivity machines, then preventing BSODs is easy. If you need to allow users to use lots of hardware and software, BSODs become more common.
I used to work for a peripherals developer. A lot of what we did was write mac drivers for devices that existed on the PC realm, but all of the various hardware and software that we subjected the PCs to would cause them to freak out regularly.
