I use both platforms. PC for gaming, Mac for desktop publishing. I have been using a Mac since 1989 when I started on a 4mb Mac Se. My first PC was a pII 233. I can honestly say that Macs are much easier to use and have a better OS. That being said, there is obvioulsy a sliver of the gaming software available for the Mac that there is for the PC but if tomorrow all things were equal and I could get any title for the Mac that I could get for the PC I would go Mac and never look back.
Before everyone freaks out I just want to say that I have reformatted my PC so many times I have lost count over the years. It just seems to be a viable solution to the troubles with Winblows at times and that in itself should say something. With my mac, I can copy my OS over to a disk and call it a day. If anything ever got so squirlly with the OS that it needed fixing... poof! load the backup. And thats the nonstandard way. You could just reinstall the OS. And it would work, unlike reinstalling Windows and opening 7 kinds of hell when your through.

Mopeds and Ferraris
I'm going to upgrade my iMAC to 64MB, baby!! That ought to crank my frame-rate up to 6-7fps!!
Yahoo!!
On a serious note, I have clients with both MACs and PCs and truth-be-told MACs aren't the oasis of sanity that most Macophiles would have you believe.
I often end most MAC vs. PC arguments with the following statement;
"I compare Macintoshes to PC the same way I compare mopeds to Ferraris...in effect, they both do the same thing, but I wouldn't want to be caught dead on a moped."
I think OS X changes a lot of that...mixing UNIX in with a reliable and uniform GUI seems attractive to me, but I've been wrong before.
P.S. Re-formatting and re-installing Windows is not always THE answer to solving Windows problems.
