According to PC Magazine, “For Apple, in both the desktop and notebook sections of the survey, every single score is significantly better than the industry average for Windows machines. No exceptions.” [source: Lockergnome

[UPDATE] I liked this paragraph from the survey:

The company's scores are so high there's some concern that they can't be completely trusted: that Apple users are so passionate — almost fanatic — about the company and its products, they're not quite as objective as other computer owners.

How does Apple get such passionate (fanatic) users?! They continue:

Still, there's solid evidence that Apple computers may actually be worthy of devotion. There's little doubt, for instance, that the company builds unusually reliable products.

On the desktop side, readers say that Apple systems needed repairs only 11 percent of the time, an astonishing number when you consider that the closest competing score is Sony's at 16 percent. Just 17 percent of Apple notebooks needed repair—second to Averatec's 14 percent—but this is still amazingly low considering that no one else is under 20 percent.

Tempting as it may be to suspect that Apple owners are prone to exaggerate when asked subjective questions, they are much less likely to exaggerate the number of times a system needs repairs.

Hmmm...I don't mind paying for quality.
