The age old Nerd debate, Mac vrs PC.

In my early days it was the C64 vrs Apple IIe.

I built a new system not long ago and installed XP. I'm pretty happy with that set up and more importantly it plays every game out there in full definition without a hitch. To me thats whats important on the computer, because if it was for my 'real' activities, I wouldn't need much of a computer.

When the Vista crap started hitting the blogs I toyed with the idea of getting a Mac for my wife and myself (I was building a new system for her to) but it would be akin to a computer lifestyle change. Macs do have what I think of as a better OS over all, but its software is lacking.

So it becomes a catch 22. You get sick of Microsoft so you want to switch OS's but the Mac OS doesn't have the software support you want so you stick with Microsoft anyways and then there is one less reason for someone to develop software for Macs.
