an easy answer: windows! there are more programs for windows, you can build your own and upgrade easier than the mac, and besides ive hardly ever used a mac so im more used to it. even though i hear editing is better on then mac, ive tried editing on a mac in imovie, and only thing i was a ble to do was crash it in a few minutes oif turning it on.

I like my PC and I cannot stand Macs. Though I am surrounded by hardcore Mac users every day. :|

I definitly prefer my pc over my mac, just cause I don't like the macs OS and how things are set up, and I don't like alot of the programs they have for it, they are all too complicated, plus macs just don't seem to be as fast as a pc, but thats just my opinion.

Mac is extremely conservative with the file formats it will read and write. For example, many PC editors will write real media, WMV, and Quick Time, while many mac editors will only do QT.

If you have tried mac OS X then you'll know that most of the windows programs now come build into macs.

Oh the mighty PC, unbeatable even though consoles themselves will slowly turn into PCs, the circle is then complete

If you have tried mac OS X
i have to admit, os X is alright, but still i cant stand macs. besides if the only good thing about a macis that it has WINDOWS programs built in it, whats the point?

Firstly, well done for keeping the insulting to an absolute minimum this time!

Looks like Macs are losing on this thread! Come on Mac users, convince us PC users we're wrong! HA HA HA!
