Both platforms have their pro and cons. True there are more Windows computers sold but what are they used for? My job has all Windows computers and no one there even knows what to do with them except get on the internet or create a Word doc. A large no. of Windows computers are used in everyday businesses for Word or spreadsheets and business stuff. I'd venture to say a very large percent are not used for 3D work of any kind. A large number of the 2.6 Macs are in graphic production or audio production houses. Everything I read about MAC in that regard is that they are used because of their stability. Sure Macites would like a faster computer and that's down the pike a bit. But I don't think the graphic and audio production houses are too unhappy with their MACS. As someone else stated they are tools. Use what you got or be like the folks on my job who don't even know what Explorer is or how to find it. They would be no more competent on a MAC. MAC lovers are MAC lovers for a reason. Unless you use one you'll never know why.
