Please don't double post, just to cover more than one section. If you want to do that in future then post in General Computer Chat.

Well the only thing I REALLY liked about the PowerPC G5 Mac I used at work once was the really nice blue interface sooooooo I downloaded FlyakiteOSX and now my PC looks like a Mac while I keep the customizability and gaming capabilities of Windows XP.

I think Macs are better for like college computers. PC's have endless amounts of software compatible with them.

I still dont see why apple fans are pushing that fact, oooh boot camp is great yay.... All it does is finally admit that apple cant do it y themsleves, so they have been forced to add XP compatibility to the Mac's.... You dont see a windows based PC advertising that "oooh look at this amazing stuff, this can boot into Mac OSX aswell, omg windows XP and MAc on the same system, woot". Its just an excape route for apple because they are failing in trying to convince everyone that Mac's ARE good, HAH!!!

Anway, obviously i voted for PC, due to the high compatibility and customisability of software and hardware for the PC as opposed to the Mac, which i think has a total of about 6 games on it (j/k j/k i know its more but you get the point, PC has literally hundreds of thousands)

I could go on for some time about this, but if i remeber correctly, i already did so in quite a few previous threads to this.
