It's not true. At least not entirely. Not 'all' PC's are crud. Vista or Windows does not come up with BSOD's all the time, have viruses popping up ever 10 mintues, runs slowly all the time, or none of that. It's a big lie.
If you run a cheap PC (under $850, from Dell or HP), no anti-virus program (or one download from the internet), and have cheap internet connection, then yes, you are living in the PC hell.
But if you buy a high-end/mid-range PC (Sony Vaio, LG, Samsung, some HP, some Dell), have a strong anti-virus program (Windows Live OneCare, Norton 360), and have high-speed internet connection (hopefully there's a router), then you're not going to have any problems.
Vista is not always to blame on itself. Get a high-end PC and you'll have no performance problems. Some things aren't compatible because that company doesn't want it too, not MS.
Over all, it's a big lie. Get a high-end system, good anti-virus, fast connection and you're set.
So what do you think?

I do have a Mac. How could I compare them if I didn't have one. Sheesh, obviously there are too many fanboys doubting that people actually hate OS X.

Macintosh: Simple computers for simpletons.
They can have it, :p
No one makes viruses for Macs because no one cares about them.

I think it all depends on which operating system you use first. The first OS you use is probably what you learn to do most computing skills on. Therefore, if you change, you think why change? I like the one I was using.
I started out using Macs at a young age. Therefore, I developed a liking for them. However, my school had no Macs, so I had to learn to use Windows. At first, I hated it, but now I can use both. I still think Macs are better, to a certain extent. If you don't know most computing skills, ie using a mouse or keyboard, I think Macs are better. Its very hard to accidentally screw up a Mac if you dont know what youre doing. You cant delete the Hard-drive, or sound system, or something else important.
On a Windows, you can screw this up, but some things just work better on Windows, games, for one. You can see the operating system more easily, and develop cracks for programs. Sometimes, some things just dont work with Macs.
So, its all up to you.

I've always liked IBM x86 and x64 systems because they are more universal, I hate Windows Vista but if you own the OS, you can download vlite which lets you rip out various worthless crap that no one uses and it will run even better than XP, i've gotten the hog down to a cd image b4, Mac has been good for media, but not for an all around computer user, I like Windows for it's compatibility not stability. I use Linux, preferably Ubuntu sometimes b/c it runs so much smoother, so I wish that there would be a way to mate Windows and Linux to be a perfect OS like Lindows or Winux. =P

i think ur an idiot
stop bashing macs, i doubt u even have 1. no 1 like a windows fanboy. do u work 4 microsoft ?
macs are in every way superior to windows. haha windows live care is the worst anti-virus u can possible get. how much did micosoft pay u 2 write this ?
vidta sucks btw.
no u cant just get vireses on pcs, u have to do sumthing 2 get them. im sure vista will be fine one day. but for right now, its a new version of ME.
i have windows vista running in parallels on my mac, and i have a computer with vista ultimate. wen they fix all the bugs, it might be a decent microsoft operating system. it looks good, now they just have to fix the problems and it will be ok.
microsoft definitely payed him to write up this crap. no 1 would ever support microsoft this much.

My Mac has been on the internet for a LONG time... no virus protection, no firewall, no nothing. No worries either.
