macs rarely get infected by viruses and are stable thats why you see in some businesses people use it
Correction. There has NEVER been a successful worm or virus attack on the Mac OS X. That's why they're so reliable.

After using both Macs and PCs extensively, I still prefer PCs...only because of the variety of programs you can use on it that are not out for Macs. However, after testing out the Mac Mini, everything loads itself. You do not need to spend $100-$400/year on anti-spyware, anti-viral software on it because the OS is so good(not because hackers don't attempt to hack into it as much as XP). The OS X Panther is really a work of art IMO. It's search engine is quicker on a similar processor and easier to navigate through. The expose feature on the OS is one of the most clever and easy uses of an OS I've ever seen.

Macs are mainly more innovative in terms of design and fashion. PCs are more about power at a lower cost...but the Mac OS X Panther is probably the best OS out there.
