I have been on a Mac for 5 years. Before that i was on a pc for 14 years. I Knew how to build them and fix all of my friends PCs when they were fucked up.
The big difference i have noticed when i switched was that there were zero software conflict and zero problems. I have 2 Macs and i run the shit out of both of them.
I had one render HD video for 2 weeks strait and my mac book pro processes 5k photos a week every week.
One time i had a problem with my G5. My G5 strait blew up after 5 years of serious abuse with work. I dropped it off to the Mac store for repair after my warranty has been expired for 3 years. I got a phone call from Mac and they told me the cooling system blew up and this machine needs to be replaced. Then they said that what happened was not so-pose to happen so the replaced everything in it for free even after the warranty was way expired. WTF????
I was so blown away by their attention to my needs. I wrote off that Mac and was shopping for another to replace it when i got the call. I still have not replaced any of my 2 macs. Both work fine. I up graded my hard drive in my Mac Book Pro to a 500 gig and am happy with its performance. If both macs were stolen, i would be fine with that, because i know that i got my moneys worth in the work both put out.
So to debate whats better is a waste of time. I know what is better for me and for what i do. I have a lot of money riding on everything i do with processing content and meeting deadlines. My clients do not want to hear that my PC crashed. I would remember night mares with software conflicts with PCs and the time it took me to fix mine and my friends PCs. I never want to go back to that shit again.
Im guessing that there have been big improvements with Pcs in the last 5 years, but to only have one problem with 2 Macs in 5 years and for Mac to replace everything for free even when the warranty is way done, keeps me using Mac. Mac is my choice and i think that people whos job depends on their computer and know the difference would also agree. And im not gay or brain washed.
