Macs win.
Period.

I have both.

Macs are easier to use, don't crash, and do everything for you. It's simple, everything is drag and drop, or if you complicate it, it's even better. It's an awesome system, and PCs all suck balls in comparison.

I'd give you a more educated answer, but I'm a bit, erm, off right now.

MAC MAC MAC MAC MAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAC.

I had a PC, didn't want to switch to Vista (Vista sucks balls) so I went Mac.

Once you get used to it (takes about a day) you'll never want to use a Windows computer ever again.

Macs are so much easier to use, nicer looking, better performing etc etc etc
I used to use windows on my home PC then got a macbook and I fucking LOVE it, windows is just plain shite compared to Mac
I use mine for audio apps (logic etc) and I would never change back :D

Macs are overpriced.

Seriously, there is nothing my PC can't do that a mac can.
Video editing? I use Sony VEGAS.
Obviously, Photoshop CS4 for photo editing.

The only thing i'm remotely jealous of is Garage Band, but i'm sure i can find something like it if i put an effort into it.

So PCs are way better and cheaper.

OH. and the big thing;
Macs don't play games. Unless you use crossover [slows performance of your games] or Boot Camp, which means you have to use windows anyway.

Garage Band is SHIT
Don't be jealous of it
Why not get final cut for video editing? It's slowly becoming the industry standard software, it's already what the BBC are using

Macs are PC's.
I use windows but it really depends what you want from it.
To be honest, mac's are sleek and great, but I'm used to windows and I prefer using them.
Go ahead and get a mac if you can afford it, but they're pretty expensive.

Overpriced? Not even if you keep in mind the programs, and the lack of annoyance. Oh yeah, lets all remember that it won't cost you $400 to upgrade, compared to a measly $130.

You'll never have to upgrade your computer to be able to upgrade within the decade you bought the computer in if you have a Mac. Period.  

CS4 WAS DESIGNED ON MACS. Enough said.
The same shit you get on PCs for editing period is either better or compatible with/on macs.

& Garageband is shit btw

Customization, we've got plenty. Download Onyx.
