    Key points here for PCs:
    Run the vast majority of software available today.
    Will run on vast majority of hardware available today.
    Upgrades can be difficult and problems often arise (that's why this forum exists).
    Most popular OS in the world.
    More suseptable to viruses etc ( because there are more for windows than Mac)
    Most configurable OS.
    Arguabley less stable than Mac.
    Cheaper and more variety in hardware.

    Personally I'm a Mac but I run 'Best of Both Worlds' known to most as Boot Camp.

    Hope this is of some help and I'm not just stating the obvious.

    - A virus is a virus - equally difficult to remove. Mac gets less malware attacks because it is a less interesting target - only 10% of PC in terms of users.

    - PC has about 10 times more applications than Mac.

    - But the main point is price. PC costs half of a Mac for about the same thing.

    - And who cares whether a Mac lasts for 10 years - in 3 years it is old iron too.

    Again, there is no difference. A virus is a virus. There can be tough ones on either system or just "teasers".

    I don't think so. There are fans on both sides.

    PS: don't forget to let us know how you made out in the discussion.

    PC Gaming > Mac Gaming

    Mac's are way over priced, you can get PC with compairable performance for 1/2 the price. literally

    As mentioned before, 90% of the worlds computer users use PC.

    I would argue the PC is less stable then Mac

    And as for user friendly, in my opinion its all down to the users tech level. Any half way computer savy person can work with a PC just fine.

    lol and one i cant forget, why would you buy a product from a company thats entire marketing strategy is based off down playing its competition and not stressing the strenths of its own product.

    fire away mac fans

    It is not wise because it is motherhood without any substance.
