Without a doubt! My frustration is with Dell's business warranty administration. I can accept that hardware breaks, but when it breaks down as much as these machines have the next-day on-site service doesn't mean much.
As far as the OS goes, I'm still running XP and have never had a crash, it's actually a pretty stable OS, just clunky. I'm sure that Apple products breakdown too, although their warranty service can't be any worse.
Thanks for all the replies (and validation).
