3) Viruses are starting to creep up on the MAC now - lots of news articles recently on this
4) Ease of use - why the heck doesn't the MAC even have a right click button!?!? PC is more intuitive than the MAC (let's see would an internet program be called Internet Explorer or Safari? Which one is more intuitive?)
5) Often hard to get software for MAC - very little third party viewers. When I tried to buy a webcam for my wife's MAC there were zero made for it - it didn't have one installed and the one that Apple used to make was discontinued at the time (the Apple store guys told me I could probably find a used one on Ebay or something!). Might be different now but it was like that for 6 months - where as Logitech alone makes about 20 that work on the PC - problems like this will reoccur
1. Add up all the software that comes with a mac vs a PC and it narrows considerably.
2. Windows runs faster on MAC with bootcamp, then it does with my Dell.
3. Three plus yrs and my mac has never had a virus, spyware or anything else. And I go to some shady places
My dell is a mess
4. It does have a right click. Along with a much better scroll button.
5. Had the same frustration with the webcam for my powerbook, but all new macs have an integrated web cam.
