Ah, anti Mac user rants. . . My schools, elementary through High School, had both Mac and PC, I never had a problem with either system, even at an early age. We didnt get our first computer in the house until I was like 12 or 13, and it was PC, so Ive been using them since. But if I went onto a Mac, I wouldnt be lost, because I do have a little familiarity with the system.
I just love the debate, and its usually so one sided on PC > Mac because Mac users are the aforementioned Hipsters who are "Too cool for the room."

Oh, Mac users, they so crazy.
After helping various people with tech issues over the years, I'm convinced that most of the trouble people have when they encounter a new user interface (different OS, website changes, whatever) comes from their eyes glazing over and thinking, "OMG WHAT DO I DO!?" instead of actually looking at what's on the screen. People will just freeze and not even try to do anything, even when what they're looking for is right there in front of them.
There's more individuality and competitive pricing when it comes to PCs, as well as a good chance that if something (God forbid) goes wrong with one, there's someone who can fix it that's not an Apple Store employee (probably several someones, actually). Although I've met very nice people who work on Macs, they are also the unfortunate symbol of arrogant hipsters who apparently need them to be artistic and that behavior overrules any dorky, out-of-date stereotype they can lay on us.
There isn't much of a difference in the hardware between Macs and PC's. The only real difference comes in the software, and that's something you can personalize on your PC anyway. (Perhaps if Macs weren't so stupidly expensive they'd be more appealing.)
I agree. Windows isn't as bad as Mac users like to say. Also, Microsoft came from Seattle, so WEST COAST REPRESENT.
