I admire the architecture and I wish there could be PPC systems that aren't Apples and there was a windows version for it (NT4 did have a PPC version but not since). My anti-mac sentiments start with
Price
They're like 2x as much as an x86 system that is comparably powerful. I don't need pretty...I need functional. Now the Apple's arch is superior than x86 instruction wise, but I'm not gonna pay for it when I can get something the same basic power for as low as half the price.
Lack of Hw control
You can upgrade your RAM, cards, and drives but that's about it. I want to be able to build a system from scratch and save even more money than buying a prefab Dell and get a better system as well for my money.
Pretty is ugly
I don't need my PC to be sexy. I like it to be HARD looking, or at least have my case serve it's purpose. I don't need a computer that looks like I got it from Pottery Barn. I'm not paying for the decor either. Macs look too damn decor/fruity for me.
Apps/games
This has been said to death, but I want to be able to play any PC game my system can handle on the market. Macs could handle most games, alas the arch isn't the same and devs don't bother porting 90% of games to the Mac. If it weren't for games I would have converted to Linux two years ago. Also your choice of apps is very few and far between compared to Windows and even Linux from what I've seen.
so in summation; I respect the Mac's architecture. They're too pricey. pretty and incompatible with most software I wish to run. Hence I wont' buy one.
