In this link you can see that BOTH have issues.

Ever tried to play any video games on a Mac? Yea right! .

PCs can do the things that Macs do most of the time in the same efficiency. PCs have a lot that Macs don't, gaming is a big one. I think that going with a PC is a better choice.

If you like paying more money for style, go ahead, but Dell is starting to make "pretty" and "small" computers. Why aren't there any Mac lovers telling what programs they actually use?

And why do Mac people have to pray to Steve Jobs? I don't get it?

PCs are better than Macs due to one thing above all else- compatibility. You can install any Operating System, any device, and every program except for Mac OSX-only programs, and you can even run those with the right software.

Macs need bootcamp just to try.

I bought a MacBook Pro, but the Mac wouldn't support my business needs. So, now I have an expensive Mac, running inferior Windows. So, if you need to interface in the business world, your stuck with the PC

I went in the store with him. I felt so dirty just being in there. Just kidding.

Sorry, it's a really 'pretty' machine that makes watching movies fun, but other than that...I hate Mac's. I may have to go check out the 'new' version, but then again, I might just go get a laptop.! Mac's make me nuts...ever see The Mac Rant? This guy has it right!

Business has been run on PC for so long, there will not be any change in the immediate future. So to do most anything properly, one needs a PC.

Macs are great for the graphic wizards...

Expensive for hardware and software, the OS is weak and is only made remotely useful thru unix and opensource programming and architecture. Mac has excellent marketing and strong design competencies, but it will never run Windows/Linux off the landscape because it is impractical except for coffeshop/facebook kinds of users.

i support a 300 node network with windows vista/xp/2003 server unix and linux and the one thing people don't ever ask for is mac...there arent applications for it such as Enterprise Resource Programs for Manufacturing/ Quality Control/Engineering.

Try to load Solidworks/Autocad on OSX, you can't

yeah. my first access to computers were macs and i still remember them fondly, yet now there is no clear reason for me to spend the Apple price point for limited hardware expandability, a different set of infuriating os flaws, and something i have little controll over. with pc's in their various permutations i have been able to scale and tweak them to fit multiple purposes with an extreemly narrow budget. but i must concede, if i needed to rended a feture length cg film or do any intensive editing i would drop a "few" grand to tie 5 o 6 gmacs together.

I readily admit that there are some aspects of Mac performance--hardware smoothness, for one--which lend themselves better to certain, usually media-related, applications. Some Mac software is superior in a similar regard. These, among other reasons, mean that Macs are preferable to PCs for some people.

Just not me.

I grew up with PCs; I made the transition from Commodores sometime around the age of 9 or 10. I went through countless versions of DOS before Windows was unveiled, so a large part of my preference for PCs is based on familiarity. That being said, I'm fairly comfortable at the helm of a Mac. It just doesn't feel like home.

And, trendy ad campaigns aside, Apple is still far behind in software compatibility and interoperability, and the solutions that exist tend to be cumbersome.

For those reasons, I'm willing to vouch for the general superiority of PCs--but only on a personal level. There are many things about Macs which rule, too.

First off...

WTF is the point of running WINDOWS on a MAC?

Secondly,

I have used both MAC and PC. I prefer PC. Although VISTA did more for MAC than any other innovation in the history of computing (driving customers to MAC stores), using XP is still better. Eventually, YES I WILL join in the VISTA crowd. But, like the time XP came out, I waited a good year and a half for all the compatibility and bug issues to be fixed.

THIRD,

Macs are great at editing movies and doing music composition on, but they CO$T $0 MUCH!!!

With the right investment, a PC could easily put a MAC to shame. Yes, money is an issue, but if ya think about it, there are software packages on both MAC and PC that are about half the price on the PC as they are on the MAC.

MAC has great opportunities and a lot of pre-loaded stuff, but the "good" packages cost more than the MAC itself did in the first place.

PC is more customizable, with far more options and choices to decide between based on price, value, and quality.

I think PC wins hands-down.

Macintosh hardware is expensive, and you are locked in to using their hardware. With a PC, I can pick and choose the pieces I want and build me own. Or I can choose from a multiple OEMs to try and get the best deal.

There is more software that runs on the PC, as opposed to the Mac. As already stated, if you want to play games then it's no contest -- It's gotta be a PC!

Also, if the Mac is so much better, why does Apple have to advertise that you can run Windows on their Apple products?

You can do a lot of things that Mac can't do.

The Mac is the cell phone of the computer world. People who don't want to understand how their computer works, buy macs. They like the simplicity of mac and not having to make choices about good software vs bad. Personally, I don't get along with these types of people and don't care to see them on the internet, PC has got my vote.

PCs are FAR better. You can actually fix them yourselfs are add more parts. But with Macs, you have to send them away to get fixed! Or buy a new one if you want more features.. Someone wants more cash in their pocket..

Damn, that seems pretty secure.

I'll keep this simple, don't have too much time.

The PC has far more options than the Mac has, even with the new Intel Macs.

Microsoft Windows have hundreds of thousands, if not millions more developers to develop software for them, any software that runs on a Mac can be emulated on a Windows OS.

Macs may be inherently more stable than the Windows, but this is because it's based off of Unix and because Mac's hardware is severely limited.

Windows, on the other hand, is superior to Mac OS x (lowercase x to indicate any, not 10) because it deals with so much more than the Mac OS x. It deals with the largest hardware cluster of any OS. It deals with the most possible software of any OS. It deals with being the majority used, which in turn makes it the most targeted. Trust me, if Mac OS has anywhere near the amount of users that Windows has it would be dealing with the same issues as far as virus and spyware.

But here's where PCs really win, the choices. EVERY single piece of hardware in any consumer PC is replaceable and the mass majority are upgradable. This isn't the case for a Mac.

Mac users can upgrade RAM, Video Cards, and that really about covers it. Even things as far as optical drives are either non-user replaceable or ridiculously cumbersome in most cases.

In a PC, the hardware options are endless. Also, the PC is not as limited

to OS choices are Macs are, even Intel Macs.

More on this later.

The main thing holding mac back is customization. The PC is like a used car, if you know what your doing, get the right hardware, and get a casual upgrade now and then, you'll have that thing for a long time. Mac is like a nice sports car, that seals its trunk shut so you can't break anything. Albeit its a nice car, but give it a few years and that model will be old news.

On a software standpoint mac has the new tires and aerodynamic body, whereas windows is the slow suv gas guzzler.

Keep in mind that through all this, Linux is the Air-Fueled armoured tank with turrets and nos.

I am going to have to be a bit subjective on this one. For me, personally, it is a no brainer pointing decisively towards the PC. The reason is simple and effective, I would say: I never had a Mac, I never used a Mac for more than 5 minutes and all my knowledge about it comes from generally keeping up to date with the IT world and the ton of reviews that you can find scattered all over the internet.

The Windows based PC was the first thing I got my hands on in the technology department, and that fact alone is an important reason for my preference. Macs do have the disadvantage of becoming more widely spread and talked about later than the PCs, so the environment itself encouraged PC use some years ago, as that was what everybody was using. The occasional Mac that I could see once in a while was something eccentric rather than useful. Even nowadays, when Apple started vigorously promoting their computers, PCs still take the lion’s share of the market, leaving Macs with quite a bit to make up for.

Another trouble with this comparison is that once you have started using one of the two, it is fairly difficult to just switch to the other, even occasionally, because they differ in a lot of respects, the most obvious being in the way they are operated. Once you get used to, say, the Windows system, even though not as visually appealing as Mac OS, you would have to go through the whole readjustment process before you can become familiar with Macs and operate them with ease, and the same works for initial Mac users.

The biggest reason for supporting PCs is derived from the abovementioned delayed appearance of Macs on center stage. As PCs had an overwhelming numeric superiority over any other type of computer, they unsurprisingly attracted the greatest afflux of programmers, designers and IT specialists and then applications, programs and all kinds of software started pouring out for the use of the masses. PCs and Windows based software had their way paved towards becoming the standards, the defaults in computer use, personal or for business. As a result, you can probably find over 10 different software applications for each and every little thing you would like to use your PC for, which amounts to great diversity and gives the user a lot of options. The same cannot be said about Macs, where software applications have been rather scanty until not long ago, when developers started working on those as well.

Out of all those software applications, PC games must be mentioned, as they have turned into almost a separate industry, which has commanded the appearance of different consoles, like Xbox 360, PS3 or the newer Wii. Game developers, like most programmers, have stayed where the money is, meaning the PC business, so different versions of games for Macs usually come out later than the initial release for PCs, if they ever come out at all, that is.

And last, but not least, let us not forget the price tags. Although Apple has cut deep into those ridiculously five-fold prices for their Macs, they still go over what you would normally pay for a PC of about the same specifications.

Mac is too complicated to set up preferences and all those who says people are limiting computer abilities by using PC, how much complicated things do they do on Mac anyways besides going on youtube and chatting online?

I enjoy PCs for the gaming, and MAC for its reliability. It all depends on what you need in a computer. For me its gaming and media.

Windows has been around for a while and in my opinion is much simpler to operate than a mac. Last time I used a Mac I couldn't even get on the browser the set-up was so bad.
