eh, i didnt want to get into this, but its 10:47 on a Saturday and im sitting at home because I can't drive and well shit.
I use both PC and Mac. I will admit that after being a diehard Mac user the past 2.5 years and just getting back into the PC, the PC isn't horrible. But in my opinion, its still lags in comparison to the Mac. My Mac is much more efficient and stable at handling multitasking and processing large files. Expose is a dream when you have 20+ files open in Photoshop or whatever, and the fact that you can zoom out on one program or all windows is just the best damn idea for a computer in the past 5 years. YES, you can emulate that on the PC, but its not stable, and its not MS. I also prefer the Finder to Windows Explorer, I just think the layout is easier to navigate, and OSX search is much more efficient than the Windows Rover Doggy. God that is just lame.
iChat is definitely the best way to use Instant Messanger; it is the cleanest looking messaging application available, and hardly ever gives me trouble. I prefer Mail/Address Book/Calendar to Offices's Outlook, and its only more of a plus that they are included with OSX.
I definitely think Apple gives you more out of the box then Windows does.
But there is one big problem with OSX. Networking. Yes, it is extremely easy to set up, but holy shit what a mess it makes. It puts .DS Store files EVERYWHERE. and its definitely a slower transfer rate on a Mac than it is on a PC.
So there you go, when it all comes down to it they are about the same.
Ill stick to Mac, but I definitely wont say its perfect.
