Which windows? Win2k is great, it never crashes and runs like a dream. Windows 98 wasn;t bad for what it did but does need a re-install every 6 months. Windows ME and XP I don;t like becase ME crashes a lot and XP is big daddy.

I know I know I know, but on balance PCs have much more functionality than a Mac. Also, MacOSX is very nice looking but I think Debian is much more powerful. But still, you just can't beat macromedia...

There's very little difference between a Mac and your standard PC, Macs use one less mouse button... but the OS compared to windows is far superior and much more stable.
OS7 was a little dodgy and OS8 had some problems, OS9 started to get it together, but as for OSX, this puts windows to shame.
Power wise, nothing come close to the G4 velocity engine, true multi tasking and processing something a PC still cannot do!!
The only down side is the price, but you do get one hell of a machine for it and one that won't need updating for years... (I know of some design houses still using MacClassics!!)
Most people fear Macs due to the OS especially if their used to Win and Visual basic, but with Pearl and java, a Mac is a flexible as you could desier...
For Web... Did you know a G4 comes out of the box PHP, Pearl, CMFL and Java Ready and will work immediately as a server without having to do anything to it!!
I could go on all day preaching about Macs, but to really understand the differences, you need to use them at the same time and I can guarantee you'll end up going for a Mac every time!!...

I know I know! I want a Mac too! They're sexy and they have good graphics software! I just probably would never buy one because I wouldn't use it 24/7 and I would always settle for a kick-ass PC over a kick-ass Mac!

What does't it make them then?
