It's about impact. Why write a virus that impacts hundreds of thousands of Mac users when you can write one that impacts millions of PC users? Linux proponents claim Linux is more secure, and it may be, but it has never been put to the test like Windows.

PC...every single place I have ever worked for has also run PCs, so they have to be good for something.
MACs are for Hollywood movies. That's the only place I ever see them...as a prop in a movie...and on the shelf at Best Buy.

I use both at work. PC's are more "user friendly" but for graphic design & stuff the mac is my best friend.

Our current macs here at home are a G5 power mac, G5 imac, and G4 powerbook. My dad is the only one who uses a windows based PC on a regular basis.
I have no microsoft applications on my mac.

I'm more in-tune with the Windows operating system, but my house is certainly more of a Mac house, we have a Powerbook G4, a G4 desktop (unsure of the specs, but it's nice) a Mac Mini (the bigger one, no pun intended) with a the 20" flat panel, and and iMac

and the lone black sheep, me, i run a dell dimension 3000, 3.4ghz i believe, with a 19" flat panel


if i had to choose which were nicer, i'd say Mac, but i still enjoy PC's
