Which is why choose PC

Mac has never been the one that was more hip or fun

Yes, actually, it always has.

Just face it - you've got nothing.

I don't know about what's been going on as of recent, but in the past, there were a LOT of games for Mac. And for many, computing is not about entertainment, or games.

Real mature, you are.

As mature as the last guy...and I'm more into what I use my computer for, and there are still more games for the PC.

Which is why I use a Windows machine. Macs have nothing when it comes to doing engineering work. Go to the Kelly Engineering Building's computer lab at Oregon State University, they have an equal amount of computers that are Macs, Windows, and Linux. The Linux and Windows machines are always in use, while the Macs are only being used by about 2 or 3 people (out of about 20 computers) to browse the internet or check e-mail, and that's only because the other computers are in use. Granted, I don't use Linux now, but once I get a new computer, I'm probably going to dual-boot Windows with Linux.

I was thinking more along the lines of productivity (i.e. arts, like photoshop, music, movie, etc.), but I suppose yours is valid.

sheeshhh, will this thread ever end?
If you work on a Mac so be it, if you love Linux or Windows or whatever, FINE. I use Windows and OSX to work, and it doesn't matter, I output the same stuff on one or another. PERSONALLY I prefer OSX, and that's MY opinion, and it has Bootcamp. Why? Because I need it too, rarely, but it's there. It's just a tool.
At work I use Windows, and in fact today I was applauded(congratulated) by my colleagues for some work I did. Yes, on Windows.
Every person is different and each one has his opinion, if you like to work in a C64 or Amiga or Atari so be it.
It's just a tool,
fanboys...

I'm claiming a win as neither OSX nor windows of any flavour can be installed on a dead badger.

Hmm, methinks, once I have enough money, I'm going to have to have a taxidermist install a computer into a mid to large sized animal. Perhaps install the monitor into the back of a horse's skull, with the keyboard and mouse in its shoulders, so you can ride the horsie whilst surfing the internet. Sh*t, might as well make it a unicorn in the process, too.

Or a potato.

Face it, Linux is just more versatile than OS X or Windows could ever hope to be. And there's so many choices! (link)

^That graph is hugely inaccurate. Given the wider variety of P2P utilities in Linux, as well as more methods to circumvent any restrictions that your ISP may impose on you, Linux is definitely the best for watching porn.
