PC for about 90% of things My partner built my PC and i love it to bits, along with our shop brought laptop.
I have used Macs, and they are fantastic for multimedia....but not much else for me ^^
I'm a gamer too and find using PC's much more accessable.

Linux!

No seriously

I dislike Macs... they are more expensive, and there is less program support for them. So basically you pay more, to work less

Mac. Never had a problem with it and all the programs I use work with both Macs and PCs.

We do have a PC that I don't use because surprisingly, lots of programs don't work with it and it's Vista.

I prefer the Mac for the user interface and easier usage (no freezing) but the PC is good because you can build your own for a whole lot cheaper than a Mac, and there's more games/programs for it.

I love my IMac and soon to be an IPad owner. I love how people complain about the price of mac but I don't have to buy adware or virus protection every year. I would bet that if you put a mac in peoples home that say they hate them. In 6 months 95% would not want to go back to PC. I did use PC for 10 years and always had problems.

I've used both Mac & PC, I would get a Mac if I ever had enough money and it would be just for fun not work. I was a die hard PC fan up until a few years ago when I discovered that they changed from gem to unix back with the release of 10 or (known as X) I've liked unix but never their GUI (Graphical User Interface) it was just to blan. Mac's are just to expensive, so I use a Windows XP PC with free AVG antivirus.

Speaking of this. My PC just died, well the video card or hard drive died, my guess is the video card. Easy fix/replacement. But no, thats to easy...soooo....why not upgrade while i'm at it! I'm rebuilding my whole computer, ground up. Parts come in this week. I'm really excited about it.

I voted both, but I prefer Macs and use two personally at home.

Why would I use such over-priced, proprietary, incompatible iRubbish you say? Well, my Macs have been cheaper than any PC I've owned and my Intel Macs let me have three computers in one (Mac OS X, Windows 7, Ubuntu) which is invaluable for my job (computer consultant). But despite those advantages, there's really just one thing that really makes a difference for me:

I don't get viruses on my Mac.


That's it. The one killer feature. And that's what makes it worth it to me. The argument that I still *could* get a virus, while technically true, is meaningless for day to day use. I make a good half of my money removing viruses or re-installing Windows on up to date, antivirus protected, hardened workstations. It's just one of those things you have to deal with as a Windows user. I've never met a Windows user who has never had a virus, and I meet a lot of Windows users.

On the other hand, I've never met a Mac user who has ever had a virus. I spend enough of my time at work dealing with viruses, it's just so nice not to have to deal with it at home.

But, Macs are not for everyone the same way aquariums are not for everyone. If you don't like fish, don't get an aquarium! .

I use a PC. Aside from Macs being over priced, i don't like using them. It is difficult and unintuitive for me. I had to use them for a class in high school and after 9 months still couldn't stand it. and every once in a while in college i would get stuck on one when all the PC's in the computer lab (like 80 of them) were full but a few of the 10 macs were still empty.

This said, at home I use linux for almost all my computing needs. I have 1 program that i use daily that will only run on windows (no mac or linux) so I still have a small windows partition on my laptop, but linux is my main stay.

Had a shotty Toshiba(still have it, I'm actually using it right now) for a few years. Its a friggin' fire hazard, it overheats like crazy, too hot to put on my lap. But I'm going to college in September so the other day I ordered a Dell. Macs are nice, but PCs are easier to use, cheaper, and more compatible with other stuff.

Mac all the way

Started with Mac and was forced to use a PC at work. Then bought a PC for home but as soon as the new Macs allow to use some space to run PC programs switched to an iMac

Love them. Should work for Apple not not for a biotech!

And BTW they are not as expensive as they used to be. Considering the programs they come with, at the end of the day they are cheaper

MS office that is overpriced

MAC all the way. Pc's are too complicated and make life harder. When I move out I'm getting an iMAC with my new wife, can't wait!
