Quiet is the new Loud
I started out recording on PC based systems using Cubase and Pro-tools (which ever was the first Maudio version they did) at uni and had a PC with Cakewalk at home for home recording. It wasn't until 2007 i moved over to macs mainly so that i could work on stuff at home from work as everything is mac based at work. However, after making the move i've never looked back. in my life i have experienced a lot of problems with Windows based PC's, not just in terms of audio recording but also in day to day use. However, over the past couple of years i've used a couple of well setup windows recording systems that have pleasantly surprised me and easily did everything my mac did (although both of them later developed horrific problems; one got a rebuild/update and is now fine, the other was trashed and replaced with an iMac) I'm more than happy using both systems, but my preference is still very much Mac. Saying that, i don't consider myself an "Apple Fanboy" (i know far too many). I hate the iPad (i still don't see the point!), i'm not a big fan of iPods, and the iPhone sucks IMO, but the Macbook Pro's are hard to beat for small, powerful laptops, and the Mac Pro's are just ridiculous for power if you so wish.
I have a friend who actually went the other way and went back to PC's after years of hardened apple fanboyism, but during his apple days he raised the point that for a Windows PC to compete with a Mac, you'd probably spend the same amount of money. Nowadays however, he simply refers to macs as "Standardised PC's" - you don't have to worry about how well your graphics card, cheap brand of RAM, 3rd party Wireless card will work because Apple have standardised what goes into their machines and made sure their software works perfectly with it all
