I've heard negative and positive about both platforms. I'll remain a PC user for price alone. You can purchase a PC system that is equivalent to a MAC system in performance for half the price. I have used both MAC and PC. And I will say that I've abused them both. And rarely did things crash or freeze, etc. The only things I experienced on MACs were out of memory errors. On PCs occasionally a program would freeze and have to be restarted.
