I was working with Mac since 1984, up to 1995. I gave up with Apple after the messed marketing strategy the Mac users experienced in the period 1992-1995 (Performa series, System 8, 8.01, 8.02 and so on..., patches over patches).
I know things have changed with OSX, but I have simply no wish to go back to the older path. -

My dream is a "Mac Pro" that says it all!
www.apple.com/de/macpro/ damn what a beast ! - When I was a kid I used to pray every night for a new bicycle.
Then I realised God doesn’t work that way, so I stole
one and prayed for forgiveness.

I'm using PC at the moment but 2008 will be time to start with Mac. I just don't know yet if I will buy an Imac or Mac pro...
I used vmware in my pc for a long time to run diferent OS. This software will be my first purchase for Mac to use XP or Vista.

- I have an iMac at home and I enjoying it. The only reason I am still using a PC is due to work (it's thier PC anyway). I have installed Parallels in Coherence mode and added all my Windows application icon in the mac's dock. I did not have any issue with performance. I even feel it is faster to run Windows apps on my iMac (so far). To think I have a first generation iMac.

Definitely Mac.
I have been a PC person for the past 15 years, but now it got to the stage where I cannot afford to waste my time fixing Windows all the time. Having to reinstall this and that every other month is not fun. After my PC crashed last week I have been using my little MacBook for work and I really don't want to go back to PC. Macs just work. Now that you can very easily run PC applications on Mac anyway and with bloated, resource hungry Windows Vista out I really don't see a point in sticking to a PC anymore. - My company:

I've been on a Mac since I started using computers and prefer them to Windows for my every day work. I use Windows XP to check out how web pages look like in IE and for it's map applications like Streets and Trips or Autoroute (for Europe). Most Mac mapping software leaves a lot to be desired. Also, I prefer to run Windows servers since Apache, MySql etc. have nice up to date binaries which make for an easy install. The Mac binaries are always a little behind and installing them does not go smoothly. I'm not good with command line setups so Mac servers are out of the question. I'd use The Mac server GUIs but most things break when you use them (OS X Server is just good for file sharing right now). This is one case where the user friendlier OS is Windows.
But if you are smarter than me and that's not hard, are comfortable with UNIX command line setups, you can set yourself up quite nicely with a Mac environment (server and desktop) which will put Windows to shame.::I::

Hi there,
use Windows XP to check out how web pages look like in IE and for it's map applications like Streets and Trips or Autoroute (for Europe). Most Mac mapping software leaves a lot to be desired.
Use VMware Fusion

The Mac binaries are always a little behind and installing them does not go smoothly. I'm not good with command line setups so Mac servers are out of the question.

I really don't have any need from my home computer such as servers and Mac binary m8.
I honestly thin Macs are better full stop. Seriously, have a look at VMware Fusion if you need one or two XP/Vista apps. www.vmware.com/products/fusion/
Since I bought a Mac a Windows PC now to me is nothing more than a games machine - SCIENTIFIC FACT - Santa's sleigh, weighed down with all those presents and traveling at supersonic speed to get to every households in one night, would encounter such massive air resistance that the entire contraption would burst into flames and be vaporised within 4.26 thousandths of a second :]

I use Macs at work, Have one at home but much prefer to Use windows and ubuntu, just more fun
Plus being a gamer says it all really.
A PC can offer me everything whilst a Mac cannot - simple as that.
I had to originally downgrade Version Cue to get CS3 to work on Leopard on the Intel Macs at work - What a nightmare... auto updates now turned off.
CS3 on the PC's - No probs at all.
Being a compulsive PC upgrader my older hardware gets passed down to my linux server pc sporting 1.5 terabytes of media storage. It streams to devices around the house (and garden)
To do this on a mac would have been too costly, the assortment of opensource/gpl software available for windows and Linux makes it easy plus the unlimited hardware configurations at your disposal.

- I agree - PCs for fun, Macs for Pro work
