Then run Windows on a Mac. My Mac laptop plays Oblivon at full detail.

 Windows = Software

Mac = Hardware + Software.

If someone can find a Windows laptop that's all metal, has a backlit keyboard, all the power of a Macbook Pro and an inch thick, please link it.

Well, other then the Mac :)

Macs, you are not just paying for the name, you are paying for superior quality, and superior workmanship. There is no design better on the market, and there is no crap components in any Mac. Plus when you get ready to upgrade in 3-4 years, the macs hold their value. A pc is worth nothing in that time frame. I had a $2000 power mac g5 that I used for 4 years and then wanted to upgrade to an intel iMac. I sold the G5 for $1500 on eBay and then bought the iMac for $1200. You could never do that with a PC. Like another guy said earlier, go compare the same build on a dell, and you are not paying more, that is such a misconception. Everything is top quality from the mother board to the graphics card to the processors to the drives. They do not put crap in Macs and they last forever. I have used Macs for 14-15 years, never had one crash and never had a virus and never have had to restart because of a freeze up. I would love to have someone with a PC claim the same.

I'm a PC user, and a Vista lover.

So sue me.

OpenOffice pwns Word. What makes it sexy, you can save in Word formats so if you're stuck using a computer, school/work/whatever, that only has Word, you're still good to go. FREE!

I find ubuntu runs slower on my certainly pretty damn old pentium 133 with 128mb of ram than does windows server 2003. Make of that what you will. Linux and windows are both nice. OSX is the spawn of satan.

Also I run open office but I have to say. MS office is, at the moment, just better. At everything. But I have faith!!!

Anyone that has a new computer and says vista runs slow clearly bought a terrible pc.

My whole computer cost like 700 dollars and it came with all that.

Me I perfer Microsoft Works anyway.

I usually perfer windows but Vista is really putting a cramp in my retro computer gaming. Not even sure if i'll be able to get Knights of the Old Republic to work.

My vista runs fine other then that though.  Even with the terrible computer i got.  Least i went with the dual processor. 

I got a Macbook and its great, except on one screw which gives me a mild electric shock occasionaly when i touch it, its f***ing annoying but its definitely worth it : )

Wow, I can't believe the people who think you can't right-click or use Word on a Mac. Mac's have always had Word and have supported two-button mice without third party software for at least a decade.

As to the complaint that Macs cost too much, they cost roughly as much as any other similarly powerful retail PC that you would get from Dell or Lenovo. You're not complaining about the cost of a Mac versus a PC, you're complaining about the cost of a retail PC versus a custom PC built from wholesale parts.

One final word to those who tout superior Mac security: Don't get too comfortable. It was a long honeymoon, but malware targeting Mac OS X has finally been seen in the wild. I'm not saying you should rush out and buy an AV program right now, but following the same best practices that PC users should follow would be a good idea. Don't click on any suspicious links and don't enter in your password unless you're dealing with a trustworthy program.

I prefer PC because of the larger gaming support and I prefer building my own PC.
