they are used more for video editing, picture software (hardcore photoshoppers?)

I work a lot in Photoshop on PC and from time to time on Mac. And believe me or not, Photoshop is faster and more stable on PCs than on Macs.
For some time I was video editor at a television company. I worked on PCs and it was very ok. Never tried video editing on Macs, but what the hell could Mac do on video editing that PC can't?

So just get a test-ride with a Mac it and you'll see that the Mac-myths have nothing to do with reality...

.....I think it's called

Final Cut Express video editing

Final Cut Pro was at its origins a PC software, but Apple bought it from Macromedia. But Adobe Premiere Pro is more than enough to create broadcast quality video material.
And if you want a very serious video or audio editing tool, then the solution is not a PC, nor a Mac... there are dedicated hardware and software for it.

It's an interesting fact that nothing is original on a Mac. The Mac-GUI was taken from XEROX, the MacOS X kernel is Unix-based, and surprise: the trash can is a Microsoft invention.

I dont know if thats exactly the name of the software but...you do make a good point about MACS though

I'm surprised nobody said linux. I've used a dual boot setup for a couple of years with Win98 for games and Mandrake Linux for everything else and loved linux for it's stability! but when I moved to Windows XP I found it very stable and saw no point in continueing to use linux as rebooting just to play games is a pain in the but and I've ran my system days at a time with windows xp without a crash.
