PC or MAC?
This has to be the most misleading information brought to society. Who is responsible for the STUPID commercials that we see regarding a PC or MAC? First off I am a network administrator for the last 12 years which gives me enough knowledge to make these statements. Secondly a MAC is an abbreviation for Macintosh. Macintosh, currently often called Mac, is a brand name which covers several lines of personal computers designed, developed, and marketed by Apple Inc. Now what is a PC? PC STANDS FOR PERSONAL COMPUTER!!! DUH. They can both be considered personal computers. Personal computer, a computer whose original sales price, size, and capabilities make it useful for individuals. The x86 architecture has been implemented in processors from Intel, Cyrix, AMD, VIA, and many others. So is it "x86 Architecture or MAC?" PLEASE someone get to the bottom of this and let the idiots who made the commercial suffer for the lack of education and misleading information. Now...How can this be posted for the entire world to see??

I have to agree, the new Mac advertisement campaign is so wrought with inaccuracies and misleading slander that I have to wonder how they get away with it.

I would recommend writing an advice piece, since you obviously have experience with both systems. Epinions no longer accepts contributions to the PC vs. MAC section but you can post it here (http://www.epinions.com/Technology_member_center) for the whole world to read :-)
