Re: Mac or PC
I'll vote PC, since it can run Windows, Linux, or even OSX(although not legitimately).
At home, I have 1 Linux machine, 5 Windows machines, and 0 OSX. Setting aside the smugness of the company in general, my biggest problem with Apple is that I don't see the value. They're far more expensive than the PC, have limited upgrade paths, and limited application support. Sure, there are a couple of killer apps for Apple, but I just don't think they're worth the price of admission. Every time I have ever thought of buying an Apple, I always end up comparing how much PC I could get for the same price- there's no contest.

Re: Mac or PC
I was a Mac guy until the price to performance ratio got too crazy, then I switched to PCs. Right now there's one (ancient) Mac and 4 PCs in the house (One with a Linux dual boot).
Re: Mac or PC
At home I have 4PCs (3 running XP, 1 running Vista). I also have an old PC running Linux, basically running my home network/acting as a file server.
No Mac for me, I'd never buy a Mac:
- The ads annoy me
- Smugness
- Limited upgrades
- Expensive
- As pretty as it is the design isn't for me

"If the policy of the government, upon vital questions affecting the whole people, is to be irrevocably fixed by decisions of the Supreme Court...the people will have ceased to be their own rulers, having to that extent practically resigned the government into the hands of that eminent tribunal."

Re: Mac or PC
PC. It's cheaper, it rarely fails me (alright, it fails sometimes, but at least I can fix it), it has a great price to performance ratio, and it plays games. Most of my favourite applications work on a PC as well.
