Less vulnerable to spyware and other malicious attacks and did not get viruses.


This is no myth. Macs are not invulnerable, but the simple fact is that 99% of the malicious software targets Windows. There are over 20,000 known Windows viruses, versus a mere 20 that are known to affect OS X (and those all rely on the user doing something completely stupid).

Mac still have same bit rate PCs have gone higher if you need or want it.


This is nothing to do with Macs or PCs! Your audio interface and software dictate the highest bitrate you can use.

It all boils down to what you are used to working with and personal preferences.


Absolutely!

All the studios I have been in use a PC as a first choice.


I have the exact opposite experience. Every studio I've been in use Macs exclusively. Something to do with Mac programs being more stable wink

My personal experience has been that all hardware, software (except Logic Pro) and plugins I use work equally well on Windows and Mac. Both the iMac I have at home and the custom built Windows (XP) PC at work run reliably 95% of the time. I vastly prefer OS X, though. Part of it is that I like the look and feel of the Mac better, part of it is that I don't like spending time on maintenance, which the Windows box needs a lot more of to stay clean and healthy.
