From what I''ve read in the various Mac vs. PC threads, other than people whining my system is better or your system sucks, is that both systems are very capable of doing just about any job that a user would need to do, provided the similar amount of resources ($$money$$) is spent on either system. That both systems have their learning curves, when going from one to the other, and that both systems have their, as I like to put it ''user-created'' problems. I have only used a Mac once and it was a while ago. If you are basing your decision on the ability to customize, then I''d do some research on what''s available with shapeshifter vs. windowblinds. Personally, I tend to stay mainstream
