I am really torn on the Apple - PC battle. I have both at home and use the Mac primarily and prefer it. However, it will soon be time to pick up a new desktop and I don't know if I want to go with Mac or PC. I prefer the OS X to Windows (haven't tried Vista yet) and could run either on the Mac which is nice.

But it seems like I could put together a better computer for less taking the PC route.

I hate how Mac makes it so you have to be so strategic about when you buy. If they would just let you personalize your computer like Dell a lot of this would be mitigated. Not to mention not having a new OS X version come out every year.

I'm not sure that Mac support is anything spectacular. I get the snake oil feeling as well not that I think many of the other computer makers are any better.
