Mac vs. PC?

I want to get a new computer but I don't like Vista, so I'm leaning towards buying a Mac. Everyone I know is using WinXP.

What's Microsoft doing about it? Will they continue to develop Vista and if so how long till they get it right? Or do they believe it's fine the way it is. Mac OS X Leopard seems to blow Vista out of the water in just about every way.

DEATH TO MAC - DEATH TO MAC - DEATH TO MAC!

Oh they make me so angry! They purposefully do things to screw the customer (not that all companies don't do it, but they are SO OBVIOUS about it) I'm ready to strangle someone with a one button mouse cord! They charge you up the wahoo when you could get a comprable pc for half the cost and the pc you can upgrade for years to come. Need more space, better graphics card, DVD burner - go to freakin' buy.com and find a million? Is that possible with a mac - NO! And the iPods and iPhones what is the deal with the battery - ERRR! And white come on - who makes a white computer - its not a freakin' cloud! Remeber the lunchbox of a computer they came out with a few years ago?

So in conclusion, you can see from my well outlined argument that Mac should die and Google should rule the world :)

If you get a PC just stick with XP. I'm leaning towards getting a Mac myself for my next box but part of that is just to learn it and try something new. I can't really fault the Death to Mac post as PCs are cheaper, there is more software for them and you can upgrade them more easily.

Microsoft will eventually(I would hope) make Vista better. I'm pretty sure everyone hated XP when it first came out but after a while it got better.

Buy a new PC, and get it with XP. If you get a copy of Vista, you can downgrade for free to any previous version of windows, like XP. Vista is a mess, I wouldn't recommend anyone using it.

If money is not an issue go for a mac, I mean why not. If your on a budget and you want more bang for the buck go with a PC with XP. Vista needs some time to work out all the bugs. Also with a PC you can duel boot to XP or Linux which has the security of a MAC. I'm not sure but I heard you can run MAC apps on a Linux box with a bit of help.

I've never owned a MAC but they are cool looking and a ton more secure then XP, huge plus.

DEATH TO MICROSOFT.
