As for servers crashing, well they do, A lot of schools are pushed on a budget and tend to upgrade the front end as its the thing that makes people want to use the pc's.

Just been having a look on the web about Mac OS on PC's, apparantly you "can" get a version of Mac OS running on pretty much any PC! Altohugh its not legal. In fact one wesite I just looked at had an article on a PC for sale (a Dell laptop) on e-bay that booted up using Mac OS (it also had windows on it too) and it sold for about £380.

so it looks like it might be an argument of what os is better!! LOL!

Mac for £400!

Think that ive kinda got my perspective on the apple Vs Microsoft, one gets ya on the hardware the other gets ya on the Software! End of the day they both get your money, one way or the other, and the job done.
