One thing PC users can do that Mac users can't:

Please, its one or the other anymore. With apple you are paying for the brand and their "chosen" hardware, which incidentally is openly available PC hardware now. They truthfully lost their advantage in the photo/video editing world with the retiring of the RISC processor. Now windows and osx both are just front ends to the same x86 instruction set.

I do however find it humorous that apple finally gave up on their own kernel/underlying system and moved to a BSD based system. So for me at this point, OS X is not much more than a glorified window manager like KDE, GNOME, or Enlightenment (is that still even around LOL). Hell a majority of legacy Mac apps have to run in emulation. I would much prefer to pick my own hardware - and pay 1/3 the price of an Apple store PC, then throw OS X on it if i wished. But then again, i think ill just stick with Ubuntu and Centos and run win and osx in emulation windows as needed like i have for years.

Posting from a mackbook pro right now. I used boot camp to load windows XP (needed it for some apps at work that require windows). So I have the best of both worlds. Just chose my OS at start up. The Mac OS is not error free. It's supposed to be so great for video editing. As soon as I connect my Panasonic HD camcorder to it the OS locks up. One other weird thing is I get 4 hrs of battery life using the mac os. I only get about an hour using XP. I still can't figure that one out. The fit an finish on this laptop is far superior to any Dell, Toshiba, HP, etc.

QFTFT. Ubuntu FTW, it will be my next OS when I get around to rebuilding my desktop.

I think your post just owned all of the apple nutswingers on here who like their apples for the alternative image without really knowing the difference between the two.
