There is no fundamental difference between PCs and Macs with regards to my first paragraph. Therefore the major difference is how someone interacts with the computer. Last time, when PCs used DOS and the command prompt, the ease of use factor was obviously slanted towards Macs, now that PCs have ripped off the Mac GUI for Windows XP, there isn't much of a difference anymore. Another difference is that, as I mentioned before, Macs are built from the ground up to be things of beauty that are meant to be appreciated and valued, wherehas PCs have none of this sort of consideration, being primarily used in staid, boring offices, where the only creative expression is the boss wearing a polka-dot tie(shock!). And UNIX can be run on both PCs and Macs, and now Macs are using Intel chips. So...

if you jump into learning command prompt in mac it opens up even more power than is available in the gui, and if you used linux you will pick this up real quick. i use my machine for pro audio work (g4 pb) both location and as portable studio gear when i record live gigs and have never once had it crash. i can get up to 52 channels on audio recording simultaneously and barely even have a glitch (using digital performer 4.5), i would never trust and pc based software to function this well. protools sucks ass... for audio on pc i would use cubase over protools but pryamix is killer on a pc machine and very very reliable. both are now equivalent when you go into the highend side of pc hardware and run a stable os nothing less than XP or a good linux distro (obviously limited software for the latter) there is no argument really, osx is more intuitive and faster to negotiate menus etc than xp but both are good. it all comes down to PERSONAL CHOICE !!!!!!!
