    "beat" is all a bit relative, really. On the 360, everyone's on dual analogues (well, mostly), so all at an equal disadvantage, so it makes no difference, really.

    I made the switch from Windows to Mac and must say its a vast improvment for reliability. Also have found you can do lots of applications and work on it.

    Where does this idea that windows machines are unreliable come from? Windows M.E.? I have 5 machines, running 4 different microsoft OSes, and they are ALL reliable...then again they are made with decent components (not cheap beige boxes from big suppliers) and they all have av software and firewalls running, firefox with adblock plus (and noscript on my pc), and I don't let anyone load rubbish like toolbars and 'free' games on them...a little education goes a long way :)
    So...my opinion (and it is just that) isn't that windows machines are unreliable, but that some windows users are idiots! (probably the same % of mac users are also idiots...but the virus writers cba writing for such a low target)
