I agree this thread is not Mac vs. PC. Personally I am primarily a video editor, and if I had known then what I know now I may also have bought a Mac, but I am happy with my PC. The only thing that upsets me is when the manufacturers claim something, like saying that this machine can take 4 Gigs of Ram, but not telling you that the type of Ram that the motherboard takes to get to 4 Gigs is not on the market yet. I think both platforms have definite strengths and both have weaknesses, but at the end of the day a machine is just a tool, and it doesn't make the art, the person does. I remember making posters on computers in 1987 and thinking that it was the most awesome tool in the world. My art hasn't neccesarily improved because the computer has, but it definitely has become faster and easier to make. But at the end of the day if we had to go back to painting on cave walls, it is still the artist who matters and not his tools.
