Well, I run a Mac, but it's mainly due to the fact that I'm in tune with how it works and dig how it looks. Form and function are what drive me. I never got the PC, doesn't mean I think they're bad, I just don't care for them.
As far as the software argument, blah, BLAH, BLAH. What software do you have on a PC that I absolutely need on my Mac (other than radio free virgin, which I can run with virtual pc) that I can't get or run?
One thing people forget is that Emagic was originally for Atari then moved to Mac when Atari crapped out. I've read somwhere they never really wanted to be a multiplatform software. On the Logic lists I belong to it was usually windows people complaining about things that didn't work. Usually not the Logic software but other things especially drivers.
Emagic is about the only software company I know of that took customer complaints to heart to improve the software. People would want a feature and it would usually show up in the next update. Try to get that from Digidesign or anyone else.
Fortunately for me I sit well with what happened. I use Emagic products and software and I use Apple. It's a great thing in my eyes. Look what Apple drove Final Cut (a software company they bought) into being. It's quickly becoming an industry standard in Film making because it's easy to use and powerful. I have the feeling that Logic Titanium on OSX will do the same for music.
As an outlook. Mac knows its market is the creative people. Therefore if they have the best professional grade software, where are the pros gonna go? But you know what, even the version of Logic for windows (5.1 and yes they're releasing a 5.2) is damn good software. If you can't make good music with it, then go get a reel to reel machine and have some fun the old fashioned way cause you shouldn't be doing digital.
Anway, my post got messed up and I can't remember my train of thought, but I'll end by saying that if you love using PC use it. If you love Mac, use it. Otherwise you'll spend all your time bitching about how your computer doesn't work and be miserable.
