i love my pc. my home server is my bff. I've made the switch around 5 years ago and wow. not saying anything bad about apple; i love my ipod too but as far as production environment; XPSP3, XAMPP local server and a LAMP machine.my win2k has been running for 10 years. seen it crash once (after a power outage)
@moth: totally agree with you on the finder. sucks beyond belief. there is a new alternative to the windows search. Called "Everything" and it does just that. search everything in a matter of seconds. predictive text, instant results and a small mem footprint. http://www.voidtools.com/

... and littering my websites with invisible ._ files is annoying as fuck.

A PC is good for development testing, but OSX is far better for development (at least as far as getting a true LAMP or Rails setup is concerned). It can also run photoshop, so this is why I use it over linux.
I think OSX is a shoddy piece of crap though. My 8 year old PC at home, running XP, is far more stable than both my macs - just slower.
Sick of the 'finder' and it's crap. It can't even find anything correctly. CMD+F in the folder I want to search, and it defaults to searching "This Mac". Bullshit. Just another item in a long line of annoying osx "features".
Linux needs adobe.
- re: find in current folder, they fixed this 10.6, you can set that as the default, finally!acescence

I use a mac 90% of the time, but also have a pc that I mainly use for testing. If you do anything web related I think it's very important to have both.

"as a development tool pc wins for me."
If you think that you're probably using Dreamweaver, nothing on the PC can compete with Textmate and the Mac scripting environment- e is the same dude!trooperbill

2 hours, only 10 responses. i would say that's pretty low.
wonder what the platform stats for qbn are?jagara: in response to your original post, i'd say people i know seem to be switching to mac. friends, who traditionally had PC's at work, pc's at home, got iphones and ipods and decided to get a macbook to complete the look.
it also helps that i've you've been using a cheap shit PC and switch to mac the difference is amazing. but that's because you can't buy shit macs (new)!

i work in-house, and a web based company... so kinda have to use a pc. there's no mac IT guy, and i'll be fecked if i'm gonna spend days trying to figure out why I cant see any printers..
and for home, I refuse to spend £2,200 on a fast machine, when a £800 pc has the same spec.. and can take games... and you can find cracked software... and your geek mates can help you with problems..

i'm using a mac now in work. with windows 7 on it.
quite like it so far. except the anti aliased fonts.

Yeah, i use one, but because i do video and video is almost exclusively on Macs nowdays i'm really considering switching. Has absolutely nothing to do with OS preference (actually since i'm more familiar with PCs i prefer Windows), it's just you gotta sometimes follow the sheep.
