Exactly. What the MAC doesn't have to deal with is a HUGE variety of hardware and drivers. That's what makes a large part of the difference.
Using VPC, you've just eliminated the hardware issues. The VPC presents the same virtual hardware to the OS, regardless of what's underneath. That SHOULD make the OS about as stable as it can be, given the stability of the host OS/hardware. Of course, I do blow up the OS in VPCs, because that's what I'm testing -- what will happen when I do this stupid thing or that -- Recovery is just shut it down with out saving the changes, back up in a virgin state in minutes. Great stuff! I had a graphics shop that was running on PCs, but they were complaining about blowing up the PCs, not stable, etc. When they got to printing color directly to the press, we OK'd the MACs - far better color management. Seems that those creative graphic artists can blow up MACs just as fast as they did PCs - but no they have to support themselves - we won't touch them.
