One just had the hard drive go out (with all my games on it), the other won't go on the internet for whatever reason, and the third had a hard drive crash a year ago, and I haven't got around to fixing it.

Every one of those things would be called hardware problems.  Windows is software.

Plus I can get a very fast XP machine with all the software for $300.  I have never heard of anyone doing this with Mac, including the software.

Now for a true cab gaming comp, get a pc.  Everything stated on here about Macs would not matter.  A frontend should hide all appearances of either OS.

Just curious, but did your dad upgrade shortly after Vista was released?  They rushed the release which caused a shortage of drivers, but as time goes on, more and more hardware is supported.  I remember when I ran a compatibility check when Vista first came out my printer, scanner, and a couple other things didn't have drivers yet, but when I upgraded last month, drivers for all of my hardware was available and everything worked perfectly.  I'm also only having an issue with one app, but they're releasing the 2008 version of the app next month (which I would have to upgrade to regardless) and I'm sure it will be vista compatible.  Overall I've been very happy with Vista and I was expecting to hate it since it has such a bad reputation.  Of course I also had no issues with windows ME back in the day, so maybe I'm just lucky.

I have a PC and I don't use Vista, I use XP; same thing goes for my MAME cab.

Yeah, you definitely didn't get my point then.  I wasn't saying Mac is better because Vista sucks.  I was commenting on the fact that he said when Apple updates their system, everything before becomes incompatible.
