Tallsandwich,
Why are you here? You obviously love your PC and hate Mac, fine - I really don't care. But you are quite wrong in many areas. To correct some of your points:
1. Yes Safari isn't that great, I tend to use Firefox. But at least Apple support and update Safari. Microsoft have all but forgotten about Explorer. Tabbed browsing - what's that? Secure browsing? No chance. Pop-ups? Yeah, loads!
2. No I did not wreck my PC because of fiddling. My PC (which I still have) is wrecked due to the ridiculously huge amount of cr@ap that just appears on it, usually unsolicited just from normal web browsing. Even my company PC, which is supposedly locked down, doesn't work properly - probably because of the sheer weight of the firewalls and anti-virus software that is a necessity on PCs just to protect them from the above. The fact that the MS operating system insists on changing its registry every time you install software (and thus causing all sorts of problems over time) is indeed an MS problem - not mine. By the way I am not a tinkerer - just the opposite. Tinkerers tend to like Windows because of its swiss cheese-like structure. And those who are really hardcore tend to gravitate to Linux. Mac users like Macs because they don't like to tinker. Why should I have to tinker just to get my computer to work the way it was advertised?
3. I agree with you here. Apple is just as nasty a company as MS is and they would love to be a controlling monopoly given the opportunity. That's just big business. They are not the loveable Apple underdogs that some people like to think.
4. Macs are more reliable, not because there is less software and hardware than PCs (there is still loads of both) but because of the way the OS handles it (ie not having to alter the "registry" and having to restart every time you plug something in). Macs are simply more reliable because the OS is better, more stable and more robust. End of story.
5. Yes you can screw up the OS just like Windows. But guess what - it tends to fix itself if you do something wrong! If it all goes wrong, a simple reboot sorts everything out. By the way, I only reboot maybe once a month. Try doing that with windows.
I am not trying to convert you to Mac, but get your facts straight before you talk about something you clearly know not a lot about.
