I wish I had kept track of all the windows machines I resurrected with my PowerBook. No matter how infected their machines would get I could always yank the hard drive and save those crucial pictures, music and email files. That said, those users were at fault, not windows directly, mostly by visiting malware sites or downloading adware/crapware.
We're really talking oranges and apples here, Microsoft doesn't make Windows computers so they just can't be as tightly integrated as Apple is since Apple controls the whole process. That gives Windows great scale for economy, while Apple is about package design and it shows. Used appropriately both platforms give great service, I use both on a daily basis at work but the malware problem has me preferring Mac most of the time.
