the real question is, would you buy a car made like a PC or a Mac? If that were the choice I would get a horse, have that extra drink, and sleep on the horse while it takes me home.
I think that depends on who built the PC and out of which parts. Undeniably, the Apple Mac is a very well designed product, while the PC/ IBM compatible (call it what you will) can only really be described as a platform. I think this is the mistake a lot of people make, when they compare the PC platform to the Mac. And, remember, they are both 'Personal Computers'.
If I were to win a competition where I could choose either a free Hewlet Packard machine or an Apple Macintosh, I would choose the Mac... but only if it included an 'all you can eat' deal in software.
