Software is software. It does what it does. There are apps on both macs and pcs to do whatever you want them to do. Mac software is not better than pc software, nor visa-versa. It is, as someone stated above, a "lifestyle" thingy. It's like the ipod; I can't stand the things, because I like pcs. The ipod doesn't work at all for me. I find it rather UN-intuitive. But if you like the way macs work, and especially the way they look, then the ipod is probably your Jesus.

Macs are very pretty. They are streamlined and nice to look at. They are powerfull machines. They have their own unique style. But so does my pc. I think that comparing macs to pcs is just meaningless. They do the same things in different ways for different types of people. There is no meaningfull difference between the two other than that.
