Mac OS 9 might not have had preemptive multitasking, however, for a 
single user machine dedicated to Photoshop, I'd much rather have that 
than what we have now.

As for stability, it was a question of how you configured my machine. 
When I was running Mac OS 9, I rebooted less often than I do now.

For me Mac OS X offers two things, it runs current versions of Adobe 
Software and web browsers, and I don't need a second box running UNIX.
