So i guess it comes down to whether it's user friendly and intuitive for the non-teccy type.
Mac - plug in hardware and it works
PC - plug in hardware, load software, get asked loads of unnecessary questions, choose where to find the driver, hope it works.
Viruses whilst not specifically system related are more windows focused.
I guess the point I am trying to make is that PC's a great if you are confident with what you are doing - the trouble is most people aren't which is what keeps you and I in a job. Mac's are more intuative but people look at the cost and think they are not really what they need cos everyone else has PC's
So maybe if Samdy's comment read:
PCs are for everybody who is confident with PC's; Macs are for people who don't really know much about computers and want things to just work when they plug them in.
Which in Macs case probably accounts for 80% of the countries PC users...
I would agree

As I can't seem to get wireless yet I'm going to get my mate to burn me some programs, can you think of anything essential other than this lot?
iTunes
codecs
AVG

From the station at Colchester
To the cells of Warrington
From the services at Leicester
To the slums of Northampton
We travel over England
And one day Europe too
Cos we all follow the Swindon
We're the famous Town End crew.
