Apples and oranges, chalk and cheese, boeing and airbus..... and never the twain shall meet!!

For what it's worth I've been using Macs professionally for over 15 years and, yes I really like them / no, I wouldn't ever buy a PC. I do have to use a PC regularly and am frequently confounded by the lack of intuition built into the OS. For those of a techie disposition, I guess the ability to customise/fiddle with your computer makes the PC number 1, but I (like many others) care little for what happens inside the box, and only about doing what I need it to do - which, in my opinion, the mac does very well.

For those totally outside either camp, please be aware that you DON'T need to run a virtual version of windows on a mac to 'talk' to other PCs - you can buy 'Office for Mac' which runs in the Mac OS, and will run (...create...edit..) your Word, Excel, Powerpoint pieces perfectly well.
