And I can only go by mine..

The old Mac/PC game is an old one - I have PCs and Macs running here in front of me.

The Macs - we come in, switch them on, run them for 8 hours, (Adobe CS3 Illustrator, Photoshop, Lightwave 3D, Office, Mail, Firefox) all running together all day. We switch 'em off and go home. They NEVER crash, NEVER get viruses (Yes I know they can but we take very simple precautions to make sure they don't). Maintenance etc is non existant. Installing new software or system upgrades is a non event. Being so intuitive, training new staff takes around 30% of the time compared to a PC.

The PCs - Dell machines - reliable but viruses are a constant nightmare. Still running XP as Vista is a joke - nothing will work with it - scanners, printers, CNC machines etc. To us, totally un-intuitive to use. Like many small (and large) businesses, we are quickly moving away from anything with MS written on it...

The choice for a business is a no brainer...
