Alright, after quickly skimming through various responses....I have this to say....
Someone probably mentioned this already but anyway....
Neither is better than the other...it all depends on what you want to do with it..
Like it was mentioned before but I can't remember who, the mac is mainly designed for digital media design...The PC is an all around system but with some things that the MAC is better at. It just all depends on what your computer is going to be used for.
I have a decent amount of experience in digital design and system administration and I have to say the Macintosh far surpasses Windows in this domain....and here you can say PC Sucks
However, if you are a gamer then turn away from the mac...you won't find anything here...and this is where you will say the mac sucks..
If you are a programmer, but one who can adapt to many different environments, remember OS X is built over unix, so you can do almost anything you want...just need the patience to read a few documents on how to use certain features you might not know existed in the Apple environment
...However if you are a programmer who is a Microsoft monkey then think no more my dear friends...for we all know Microsoft = Windows.....hence you have no use for a mac and PC is your way to go.
People always attack Mac cause its the "cool" thing to do...cause you're stupid if you like mac....well you can be stupid if you like Windows too....it just all depends on what you want to use your computer for.
I do have to say though, I agree with alot of you people who complained about the customization of the hardware in the Mac...you're very limited there and the price does hurt.
I have been a PC user for about 6 years now, and owned a MAC for about 10 years of my life before my change to PC...Currently, however I am looking in to getting an apple to revamp my network here at home....
Oh, and to close the argument about the mouse thing.....at my last job I worked on a powerbook and I attached the logitech MX700 to it and I used ALL the buttons on that mouse....so YES YOU CAN ATTACH DOUBLE BUTTON MICE TO A MAC AND IT WILL WORK PERFECTLY!
cheers
