Mac OS X 10.5, Leopard, may only be six months old, but rumours are already abound as to the next update to Apple's operating system. According to several sources, it's going to be called Snow Leopard, it won't contain any major new features, and is planned to go gold master December 2008, available a month later. The big rumour: it's going to be available for 64bit Intel machines only.

I've been using NT based systems since NT4 came out. I've had NT4, windows 2k, and XP systems all "self destruct". Not very often, but they have. I've also had machines that ran forever. Like my brothers 2k pro machine that has a 7 year old installation and is running perfectly smooth (I'm typing on it now). I had an nt4sp6a server than ran 24/7 for over 2 years before a hardware failure killed it (ran internal software, wasn't accessible from outside the network, so I never bothered to do updates. heh).
It all depends on how well you keep up with it and what you do on it. I've seen 2 week old towers riddled with viruses and spyware/malware because of users that don't have a clue. I've also seen REALLY flaky OSX installations. How users manage to do that, I don't know. I've never had issues with OSX
Windows /can/ be a battle. We have over 60 machines at work that are running imaging software that reload themselves after every reboot. Windows STILL, somehow, has issues from time to time. :/
