Macs are not better for art, they are not better for music, they are not better for multimedia. Yes, a new G5 is good for all those things. But for the price you pay for a G5 with, say, Final Cut Pro, you can get twice the machine out of a PC, along with lots of good software, and still have some change leftover. Macs are more stable for everyday use, true. But guess what: in processor heavy applications (as in anything media related), they still crash. Anyone who tells you this isn't true has never used the computer to its full potential. If you're pushing a computer to its limits, at some point it will crash.

Furthermore, the range of software and peripherals is simply much, much larger on a Windows based machine. You can do so much more with a good PC setup than you can with a Mac.
