Hi Tom,
A mac is probably a little more stable computer because it is a closed 
operating system.  Because the operating system of the Mac is restricted by 
Apple, your choice in programs is more limited.  Myself, I wouldn't touch a 
Mac with a ten foot pole, but each to his own.  I have played with Linux 
using Ubuntu and Orcha, but it has a long way to go to be as friendly as 
windows,but at least, most programs are opened source.
Regarding Vista, my XYL has a Vista laptop, The menus are a little different 
and the system is slower, but not imposible.  Microsoft is supposed to be 
coming out with Windows 7 by the beginning of 2010 because Vista has been a 
flop for microsoft.  Only time will tell.  If you do get Vista and really 
don't like it, you can always put an old XP system on it, that's what a lot 
of businesses are doing!
