I'm currently on a Macbook Pro which I've had for about 3 years, and during that time I have never had one complete system failure. Sure I've had to force-quit the occasional app, but never once has my system done the equivalent of a blue screen. It speaks volumes about PCs that their users find it so hard to believe a computer can be crash free!
I use both. I got plenty of grey screens on death with Macs (kernel panics). This is with a mac pro and mac book pro. Very few blue screen of death with windows 7 and 8 (if fact I can't remember ever getting one since moving from Windows vista).
And my comment wasn't directed at you in particular.

I do not use antivirus software either. It's called "safe computing" and involves not wandering all over the interwebs going places you don't need to go.
The handful of mistakes I've made (getting unwanted malware) were due to (a) foolishly not reading the dang screen, or (b) foolishly letting my teenagers use my computer. Hijack This was helpful, as was having a dual boot system.

Tried to help a new Mac Lion used with her Canon 3200F last night and it was a complete fail. Apple does not care if peripherals are compatible. They expect all manufacturers to keep up to date with them even if Apple does not let the manufacturers see their code. Prepare to but new stuff with the Mac.

It is usually the device manufacturer's responsibility to develop drivers. In the case of an older printer, there's not much incentive to add support on a new OS if the printer isn't still available for purchase. That device was released on 2009; that's a long time ago in the hardware business. I wouldn't provide drivers for it, either. And it hardly seems valid to claim that Apple doesn't let anyone see their code. They have to publish specs if they want to play well with others.
This is just an obsolescence issue. I use a dual-boot system for precisely this reason, and still use XP.
