Get a Mac, then install Virtual PC for Mac, get the best of both worlds. http://www.microsoft.com/mac/product...?pid=virtualpc Just noticed it's not free, although Virtual PC for PCs is free. |

Get a Mac, then get BootCAMP from Apple. Allows you to boot into Windows or Mac. Not that Windows is very useful anoymore to me. My next PC is a MAC for sure. Then this box becomes Linux only.

At my employer, the people that work on PC's bill out at about $45 or so an hour. The people that work on Mac's? We bill out at $150 an hour! Mind you there's almost 20 PC's for every Mac in the place, but... Me? I've been a Mac user since 1984, but I use Mac's and PeeCee's together all day long. If I had to choose just one though, hands down it would come from Apple. |

I used to be diehard PC until I started using Macs as school. If I didn't already have a few grand in software for PC I would have switched over. My damn PC wont install new drivers anymore and I can't figure out what it wrong. I have to use a ps/2 mouse right now!

Ya... I love my macs. Nice, smooth and stable. If it weren't for software I would never use a microsoft OS... EVER!!! This debate should really be MAC vs Windows!!!! There is nothing really wrong with a PCs hardware, ever run linux on a pc? Solid!!! No sense condemning the hardware just because the OS is a piece of crap. As far as laptops, macs are light and run a lot cooler. And the MAC OS... did I already ask if anyone runs linux ;) |

I like PC's becuase i can upgrade it easy, and i have never had problems with mine. Dont get a mac if you ever want to play a game on your computer. If you just use it for net and pics then a mac is good but there is no games out for it. There is a reason that apple was almost dead before the i pod came out. And for the software that runs windows programs thats great but it will run those programs slower then what a pc will because it has to use processer power to make it work. So it comes down to if you want games or no games on your computer.

unfortunately it's PC all the way, there endless in capabilities Mac is catching up, especially now that you can install on a pc that way we can still build ridiculous rigs and use mac,windows,linux on our custom builds. Unless your funds are enless of course then you could have a comparable mac. I do alot of pc repair, custom builds, and trust me when I say that you can not build a comparable mac for anywhere near the same amount of $$. I dont know of any mac's that someone like me can afford that has 2 dual core AMD processors and 8 gigs of ram running 6 monitors and plowing through all my 3D and video rendering like a freight train. |
