Can't forget the Amiga's, they kicked ass when they were around, anywho, I'm supposidly a geezer.
You get what you need, you install the software for the platform you like. Fortuneatly I use and own both worlds, and some that aren't mainstream. Each system has their unique little quirks, not every PC and Mac are the same, where it all falls apart is when you get the large selection of pehripherals such as 1000 different video cards, sound cards, mice, game pads, hard drives, controllers, etc etc etc that the Pc has and the OS has to try to deal with all that. You also have to realize that in the PC world, to be a recognized part of winblows diver signature, you have to pay a heafty fee, therefore a lot of these manufacturers supply their own devicec driver cd''s and are slow in upgrading their drivers.
Now for the MAC world... you buy your machine, not too many choices in upgrades, there are only a handful of drivers, no problems.
If you buy you PC through Dell, HP(are they still selling systems?)MDG or any reseller of turnkey systems (ones that are all preloaded , installed and tested to work in configurations) You usually don't have any problems, it's when you decide to dip your fingers into the modding pool and choose the stuff not recommended by Microsoft (not digitally signed or has that nice looking windows logo on the packaging saying it's approved for winblows)
Yes, Macs are goood, and Pc's are good. Novice users should stick with buying systems and addons that are approved by the respective manufacturer of the OS they ultimately decide to use, if not, it's like taking a cold air intake from a Mustang, and slapping it on your honda, yeah it is a cold air intake, it may fit with mods, but it wasn't designed to operate with the engine, who knows if it will work properly.
Whew... my two cents, cheers
