Honestly, I would kill for a mac. It has everything I need. A browser (ff port), IM, eMail agent (mutt port), mono port, python and a killer gui framework...
The only thing I don't like about mac os, is how it looks (aqua-something), but I'm sure you can turn it off/ change the theme.
Unfortunately, I would have to sell my liver for that macBook Pro I desire to have.
MacBook Pro 17" Intel Core Duo 2.16GHz /1GB/120GB/SD/AP/BT/ 2.949,55 EUR <- That's almost 3k€ (3834 $)!

I'm guessing that PC means Windows so I vote Windows. Compatible with everything and looks great. viruses and such are a bitch but with avg and common sense you don't get one too often and if you backup stuff it's only a minor inconvenience

With the advent of Intel procs and BootCamp, I'm gonna have to go with a Mac.
The sexehness of a mac, PLUS the ability to dual boot with Windows (Or multi boot with any other OS's)?

Linux..
I would still be using it if I could get my APT to work..But for now, im just using my pc...But out of PC and mac, it really depends on what your doing with it...
Macs good for a lot of things, but pcs are good for developing and most business related things.

With the dawn of the Intel based MacIntosh Motherboards Mac's are now far superior to PCs.

Macs are PCs. They are personal computers. If you mean Mac OS X vs. Windows, I say whatever floats your boat. They both have good things you can do on them, Windows just has more malware.
I can't wait to get an Intel Mac, SuSE Linux and Mac OS X side by side. Windows using Parallels Desktop, since I don't want Windows frying my Mac directly.

I actaully started work today its a computer compay it does a few things sign making photography and the normal computetr shop. I was working with the photography part today which was barking amazing!
Learnt all about polorizing your monitor or something like that, so the screen has like the most perfect resolution, anyway the bloke there is a pretty well known photographer and just got back from a day of taking pictures for the daily telegraph a famous newspaper in england. Anyway, I saw in his office a big 19inch CRT monitor with a big black box looking thing around it, and then some big arse printer im talking about like 3ft long sort of thing the dude spent 3000pound on it like $6,000 at the mo proably... Yeah i asked him about why he uses pcs and not macs he just laughed and said. back before the windows 95, there was a big difference in the bespoke software avaliable for windows and the macs just developed more... But now adays for 1500pound you can build a nice spec that you would pay 3,5000 for if it was a mac, and what are you paying for? the fancy case which in no doubt is any good because all you do is kick it, and its actaully a breech of both microsoft and apple to keep the bastard things on the table
So in my opinion, macs are great and funky but if you want the same system and not as fancy buy a pc and chuck mac osx on it if you have to, or run windows and spend the rest on a graphics tablet or buy yourself a camera.

I say PC just because they're cheaper to build/upgrade , and have more compatibility with games in general, mac for video edition, or things in that nature

I think the best way to sum up came off one of the quotes at bash.org
"What does a PC have that a Mac doesn't?"
"Right click."
Besides that, the Mac keyboards feel like they're so small. The keys are all bunched together and it makes typing a hassle. PCs keyboards have more buttons to make life simpler like the Start button.
