| PC ftw
I use windows only for two reasons.
1. I'm a gamer, I suppose it's now possible to play games on a Mac...but it's very impractical.
2. I got tired of all the tomfoolery of trying to make things work with Linux and MacOS...or find alternatives to windows programs. Everything is made for windows, so you don't have to fuss with it.
Linux is free...but it's worth every penny IMO. | |

| I use a laptop PC. When I bought mine, the cheapest Macbook was $400 more and had pretty much the same specs. I just couldn't justify the cost. | |

That's just in addition to the costliness and hassle. | |

| PC all the way. Macs are overpriced pieces of garbage, you only pay for the name.
I build my own computers so PC owns Mac. I'll never own another Mac. | |

| Mac (though this may change with Google's OS).
Microsoft's ever-rotting pile of garbage that is known as Windows needs to have competitors. They successfully squashed all competitors with unfair and illegal tactics for far too long. This is the main reason that it's so difficult/expensive to use other OS's. You've either got to have a certain set of skills to monkey the programs to work, or you need to pay someone else to make an OS that is both high-quality and easy to use. | |

| I started with an old G3 (beige), then a G4, a eMac, then an iMac. Since the beginning, ( and I have used both systems and tend to agree with the sirdarksol), I have never lost one picture, one document, or had a system crash where everything was lost...can't say thats true for my family who use pc's.
It cost more, last longer,and doesn't crash. You get what you pay for  | |

You likely know how to bypass the problems that are endemic in the PC before those problems hit you.
I wouldn't say my last two PCs have been problem free (and I'm not counting the damaged drive, which was due to power loss), but they've run okay. However, that's because I know a bit about how to avoid these problems (largely by avoiding Microsoft's programs as much as possible).
Lastly, I'm still amused that one of the big computer magazines named a Mac as the best computer to run Windows Vista on when the OS first came out.

| I say PC. I've never had a problem with them and I've been using them since I was able. I've used macs and wasn't impressed. Even took some Advanced Mac classes in high school but I can't say that I'm being fair. Haven't used a Mac in forever and I dont' really like change so..lol. | |

| So true. My family always has me fixing their PC's, and I am always just baffled about how they keep messing them up! They've crashed their computer twice this year...TWICE! I DON'T UNDERSTAND!
(I've been running the same install for 2 years now...)
