Macs never have to be restarted. Sure they do, but not as often. PCs are more crash-prone, particularly older hardware running newer OSes and applications. Ask anyone trying to run OS X on a 1999-era Mac if they have trouble with it (or if that's even possible) and you'll be comparing apples to apples. Now new PCs may indeed be less stable than new Macs, but modern PCs honestly don't crash constantly and when apps do crash, Windows is much better at recovering without a reboot than it used to be.
The ONLY time I've ever made OS X unstable was when I attempted to manually remove quicktime and downgrade it so I could use a older codec I need. Only time.
Networking is easier on a Mac, as is adding peripherals. The ad begins with the Mac and PC holding hands because, true enough, you can network the two platforms together without difficulty. Then a digital camera (represented by a Japanese woman) joins the network. And it "just works." Never mind that you don't network a camera the way you do a computer, but I'd argue that far more peripherals are compatible with a PC than with a Mac. As well, I've seen countless computers have trouble with Bluetooth connections, even using Mac hardware with a Mac computer. This one's just plain wrong.
Also, EVERYTHING has trouble with bluetooth, mac, pcs, cell phones. Bluetooth can be a really funky technology.

the idea is that Apple's PC's are more utilitarian than IBM PC's.
windows is just more versitile than mac os-x.
apple wants to make sure everything works and fits together, and in the fast paced world of computers that doesnt happen-- perfecting things like there "i"series takes time and money.
microsoft just doesnt give a damn, they make a system and the it is left up to the developers to make sure their stuff works correctly.
in a way microsoft's ideals are self-suffcient-- if a windows application sucks it won't continue to sell, by the time a product hits the mass market or has time to release a new version most of the crap is weeded out and survival of the fittest takes over.
apple's ideals revolve around a perfect world where everyone just wants to make movies, surf the web, edit photos, and listen to music with proprietary software and versions.
