Mac used to have a very clear lead in this respect; today that lead has shrunk enormously. If that's all one does with the machine, the Mac is probably still a better choice; but if the machine must serve other purposes as well (accounting, and so on, as a small-business or home machine might), Windows again has the advantage. The Mac has a reputation as a computer for people who profess not to like computers, especially artists. Ever notice that just about everyone in the movies is using a Mac instead of a PC? -- Anthony
