I voted PC, simply because it is a superior gaming platform.

I have both a PC and a Mac but if I had to say which was better, I would vote for Mac.  I agree with 420 that the PC is much more superior in games, but that isn't enough to win my vote over.  I say the Mac is better because in the entire time I've had my Mac, it has never crashed on me and if it is then it must've been once or twice and so insignificant I can't remember.  How many times has a PC crashed for you because of Windows?

Ya the actual Windows crashing isn't bad at all. People crack it up for more than it's worth. Usually any crashes I experiance are from virus's or some bad wiring I did in my comp. I vote PC mainly cause of superior gaming (which is what I live for on my comp) but also I don't know why but I always viewed Mac as second. I think mainly because on websites the PC downloaded version is always first and a lot of times there isn't even a Mac version.

Ya they did crash somewhat. Much I think the newer softwares since like... ME or something started coming out has been a lot more stable. I don't experiance many "windows related" problems of crashing as I use to. Though there are some "windows related" problems that don't involve crashing which I get pissed off at on occasions.

Psst. You just have to post right after everything I say don't you Blood?

Maybe it wasn't ME then. I just remember some version close to ME, maybe 2000, I have no idea, was the dawning of a more stable windows. But I was mainly just talking about on a crashing scale here. I still think windows has a lot of dang stupid bugs. Like if your clicking real fast on a slow comp with windows when your getting like a Save as thing up you can accidently click on the program behind it when it comes up and you can't do anything more to the program. It just beeps at you with the window hidden behind it. Lame. And the stupid incedent with my movie file. (which can be read in another post). Lame. Oh well.

ah yes, 2000 that one was the most stable for internet usage, not so much for gaming I think, but then again better then anything else there was on the market... hmm

I still prefer 2000 over XP.
