Can you smell the arrogance in the room?
I own multiple of both! A Lenovo Thinkpad, MacBook Pro, iMac and a custom built PC are all within my arsenal.
I primarily game on my custom-built (the wife tends to use the Thinkpad to play with me). The MacBook Pro and iMac are my work computers -- I'm a programmer and trying to do my work on a PC is unreasonable.
Seriously, I limit the use of my PCs strictly to gaming. Nothing else works like it should on any Windows OS. Make the wrong turn, click the wrong button and you've lost a DLL, screwed up your registry or have a trojan.
Working on a unix-based system makes my code compilation times fractions of what they would be compiling on Windows. Not to mention, if I really needed Windows for anything specific I could easily dual-boot any of my machines with a VM since my Macs are Intel-based.

The people who hate Macs have never had a need for one, it's that simple. The people who hate Windows are too prideful and won't give up defending Apple.
Sure, I have an iPhone -- but that's because I don't want to hassle with my phone, overclock it or install a custom ROM. Doesn't stop me from owning an Android tablet though, does it?
This thread has turned bad -- even for the Flame Bucket.
