    A Mac is the best all-around for video and sound. I recomend changing only for this issues...
    It really isn't. Some people say so and quote 'memory bandwidth' as a reason. I've worked in recording studios and even built a digital audio workstation and for the cost of a dual G5 studio mac, you can built a few dual Xeon machines running windows or linux that will easily outperform the mac.

    Anyway...Macs are generally good and well-built computers. It mostly comes down to what software and utilities you need to run. And yes, Microsoft does have a version of Office for Mac.

    Typing this on a mac atm.
    I'd say there better for different things. The Mac G5 is so bloody powerful its untrue. But If your into PC games go with a Windows. Macs are better for proccesing difficult images and photoshop and stuff.

    I'd use a Mac for Visual Basic, Macromedia Flash/Dreamweaver, Internet, making images, movies ang games aswell as editing clips, word proccesing and I'd need to attach a USB storage device to it. So if I do get a mac, I'll firstly get a USB hub.

    Macs are great for flash and photoshop, in my opinion. I like PCs better though.

    Macs are strong in some areas, but weak in others, so again it depends on what you intend to use it for. As others have said, try one out before committing to buy anything and do your homework to make sure that your purchase is everything you hope it to be. The last thing you want to do is buy a computer and find out that you can't install or run a program.

    I use Macs for editing movies, but also prefer PCs for most everything else.

    Take care all.
