Buy a PC or a Mac? Please explain why. I prefer a PC because I don't like Mac's programs.

Depends what you want it for.  My next computer purchase is going to be a MacBook and I will use it for all of my general usage, web browsing etc and I would either keep my PC Laptop or dual boot the MacBook with XP as well for when I need to run windows

I prefer a PC, but if someone got me a Mac Pro, I'd use it (to install Boot Camp .)

Anything related to audio or video editing has an advantage to be done on a Mac. The editors (Final Cut, for example) are superior to their Windows counterparts AFAIK

Pc has always been my favourite. Just can't adapt to mac.

The next computer I buy will be a Mac one, because I'm getting tired of all the issues that arise from using Windows. I would most definitely rather buy a Mac.

Troll, much?

What does it mean these days, anyway, "PC/Mac"? Are we talking about operating system? Are we talking about hardware? Are we talking about companies?

If we are talking about operating system, there are several operating systems for x86 hardware. Windows is popular, but OS X runs on it fine, and there is GNU and a variety of free or commercial Unixen.

If we are talking about hardware, remember modern Macintoshes are x86 based, and save for a few niceties are essentially the same as "PC's".

If we are talking about companies, the question of what "PC" means is drawn further into view. There is no one company that supplies any one part.

I personally dont run into any issues with any type of Windows System, but as Sam said, if the situation arised i would install boot camp

Well if there was an option stating "That people actually search the forum before posting a thread that gets posted atleast once a month" then I would have chosen that but...

I prefer a PC.. I'm a natural gamer and couldn't live without playing computer games every once in a while.

i'd buy a mac and dual boot it x100
