I beg to differ. At the school where I am a technology coordinator, we have about half Macs. Our new machines are PCs, so all of our Macs are pre 10. Initially, when I was the tech coordinator, the Macs crashed hard and often. Once, though, I learned how to make them run properly, they ran wonderfully. In fact, i believe it has been at least 3 weeks since any of our 30 or so Macs has crashed. Usually, when they do crash, it takes just a simple reboot to wake them up.
