I have a Macbookpro and the equivalent Dell. Home and Work respectively. To be honest I would choose the Mac over the PC anyday. Not so much for the software. If anything PCs have first bite of every cherry in that respect. Its just that the Mac and Apple gear in general seems to be easier to use and set up. And there is that feel good factor also. Its like someone in Apple HQ actually took pride in what they created and it shows. The pc creaks and there are all sorts of loose bits. The mac just sits there and I dont have to think about it. If you have a problem with some Apple gear than there is usually a forum of people who are actually interested in their machines who can give advice. Apple also seem to respond better to customers for product specifications. Windows is basically geared to corporations who are ultra conservative. Macs are practically immune to viruses. So far. Major downside with Macs however include some file sharing compatibility issues and the cost. Apple are masters at making people buy gear at hefty prices. For example any remote hard drive will work with any mac but the new (very useful) back up facilities in apples latest OS appear to only work with Apples pricey hard drives…. And of course if you buy a mac you HAVE to get an ipod and an iphone and everything else as they all work so well together!!! But at least it works…..
