this is a classic fight, PCers vs MACers, all i can say is that, PC nowdays still freezes and shows that "Blue Screen of Death", it is still a very capricious machine, when you buy and install a new hardware, you are always fearing its behaviour .
I've seen a friend's G5 in action and also used it a little, and i can insure you never worry or think about getting an Fatal Error or some shit like that.
It is true that sometimes (raaaaaarely), it freezes for some unknown reasons, you just restart the machine and everything's ok again.
Anyway, i am still a PC user (A7N8X Deluxe mobo, AMD3000+, 512 RAM), and i still have problems on my machine, I make music, so i have all the shit you all have, i do programming (Soft and Web), so i have also all the designers and progrmamers shit installed, i also play games etc etc. All this leads to conflicts on Windows and freezing problems.
Now you should say "ok the problem is windows, not PC", BUT, do we have any other choice? if one day we will be able to make music & play games on Linux, then i will certainly switch, but for now, there is PC and it sucks, you have to format it usually to be sure it is clean, run a regfix, care about DLL versions, languages, Virii............ Computers a re supposed to make your life easier not a hell.
Conclusion: following my own experience, i'd say Mac is certainly more stable and more reliable, PC, despite its popularity still have a long way to go. It is not a matter of computing speed, it is a matter of ergonomy and reliablity, and on these points, Mac OS is far better than PC.
