Mac, although I'm using a PC cause my parents don't want to buy me one :P So i've had to compromise by skinning my Xp machine to look like OSX.

PC, hands down.

I like Macs and PCs, because they've both got their high points. I've tried skinning my PC to look like a Mac, but i cannot stand how it looks when I do that. So if I want a mac look, I'm gonna have to buy a Mac, because all the skins that people produce that look like Mac just aren't good enough for me.

PC. Can't stand Macs.. after growing up using them throughout elementary school and all the various lockups, I gave up. Windows does not give me nearly as many problems as other people have stated

A "Mac" is a PC.

@noerrorsfound; True, but I think he means PC in the Windows sense here. Otherwise Linux, Mac, Dos, and Windows would all fall under PC, so long as they were installed on a computer being used for personal reasons

Still, I voted PC. Macs have their points, but I like gaming, and theres simply too many games I like that don't support Mac's.

@livewire use Apple D os. its a dual boot system But you can have windows running in the backround While your useing the Mac OS. from what iv seen it looks really cool.

Were you using Mac OS 9? Mac OS X is based on Unix and has much less problems. I used to hate the Macs too... until I heard of OS X.

The infamous Mac v. PC discussion.

But why can't you just like both? Each operating system has its weaknesses and strengths; Windows can play games, but is more insecure than other OS's, and Mac OS X is more secure (by design), but can't play as many games. I've lightened my stance from previous Mac v. PC discussions/arguments/flamefests after considering it for a while.

In the looks department, Windows XP's default interface looks like a toy. Windows Vista's interface looks a lot better. OS X's UI still stands up with Vista, but I don't like the brushed metal look of some applications. Linux has Beryl, which gives you effects fancier (and sometimes flashier) than Vista.

You can use a VM to run Windows on a Mac. With Parallels Desktop, you can now run Windows applications "directly" on your Mac's desktop with "coherence mode". No DirectX support... but this feature is (almost) as good.
