PC Vs. Mac, Which one to buy...?

This is a topic that has been debated almost endlessly,
Unfortunatly things haven't changed between either company; Mac's are still overpriced and PC's Operating systems are still reliably unstable.
Mac's Operating systems are VERY stable and almost never crash though you pay a shocking price for minimal hardware, some argue that Macs cheap O.S. makes up for it but I disagee: It would take a minimum of 5 years for a Mac to pay for itself. So the only advice I can offer is it all depends what your using it for:
-If you only want to check your emails from time to time or watch the odd movie then don't bother forking out for a Mac unless of course its a cheap Mac, by a PC and run either Windows XP or Windows 7 (the most stable and reliable O.S.'s)
-If you looking for something to support multiple memory intensive applications with vulnerable data then by all means by a Mac although this will cost you as a Mac with more than 2GB RAM and 160GB HD it's going to cost you something in the vicinity of £1,175 although for that money you will get an excellent Graphics card and reliable software.
Then again for that money you could get a quad-core, 1000TB, 18.4 Inch awesome PC.

So finally, if your torn between PC's cheap hardware and Macs incredible software then I suggest you by a decent PC and run "Hackintosh" (Designed to run Mac's software on a PC)
It may not run as smoothly as actually buying a Mac due to obvious compatability issues but it certainly is cheaper. Click here for more information on "Hackintosh"
