Bert,
Yes, I would expect the Mac setup to be more stable for the following reasons:
* On a Mac, you aren't running with Admin rights. With PC's, people think nothing of logging on as Administrator just to use Word. User Account Control went a long way toward solving that problem, but then IT types came along and just turned it off.
* On a Mac, Apple has full control of the hardware so that means fewer crashes because of hardware for the simple fact that the user does not have opportunity to purchase anything suspect. However, the trade-off is that you can't run all the myriad things on Mac that you can with a PC.
* There is a certain amount of psychology involved. People respect their Macs more than their PC's. The next time you are in a room with two other people - one with an iPad and one with a laptop - observe how one lays down the iPad on the table with the utmost care and the other tosses the laptop in its carrying case over to the nearest chair. Also, people are more careful what they click on with their Mac whereas they go to download.com and cram everything on their PC.
Windows can achieve the same reliability as Macs, but you have to follow the same rules.
