PC, for the same reason I choose it now. It runs AutoCAD natively. (there are no substitutes for ACAD. It's industry standard. I don't CARE how good you think vectorworks is.)
An Apple killed my grandpa. Well, that's not true, cancerous legions on his brain and liver failure did, but I imagine somewhere along the line, an Apple was to blame for it.
I think it doesn't matter really. Want design, go for Mac. Want variety of models (and a sucky operating system) go for PC. I've always used Windows, but I'm seriously considering switching over to some form of Linux at one point. Right now I'm sticking to XP but I don't think I'll ever willingly make the transition to Vista. It's just got too many problems (and SP1 will probably make them worse).
Personal computer is an iBook. I can work both platforms easily, but I like the stability of Macs and not having to fiddle with things and reinstall my OS every couple of months. :)
I had a little iMac at a job a few years ago, and it was the MOST miserable piece of crap machine I have ever worked with at all. It turned me off to Macs altogether. I am used to PC, and I am not an artist. So PC for me.
After years and years and years of tinkering with a PCs (I am a programmer for work), I broke down last summer and bought the drool-worthy Mac Book Pro with the big-ass 17" glossy monitor for personal use. I still use a PC at work.
I love not having to tinker with things. I run very powerful graphics applications, including WoW and Second Life and he breezes along. I see things before my fellow PC gamers know what hit them. It's almost not fair sometimes.
Almost everything about it is beautiful and powerful. My only complaint is the shitty, faulty power cord that came with it.
As an Avid PC user and always being told by the MAC boys that their kit was the daddy I always thought I was a wannabe MAC person. But knowing the truth then well, Bill Gates is the daddy, cmon bill.
Weeeeeendoooooows! Because I heart my left click option. And because Apple has proved through iTunes that it is as big a pain in the ass as Microsoft, and I'll stick with the gremlins I know.
If I could afford Mac, I would definatly choose Mac. Simply because of the recording software available for it. Also, I have been told that the drawing boards and art supplies for Mac are amazing...I'm an art freak, it's what I do well...but right now I stick to pencil and cante, it's cheaper and I need a new Jeep before I need a new computer lol.

Do I choose a woman or a man?

Sometimes....
I pray to Steve Jobs for their soul.
