When someone asks me whether I use mac or pcs, I tell them that I am bilingual and comfortable using both. In the past it used to be that Macs were good for certain tasks, but PCs did the rest well. Macs took care of design and video, but the PC did better cooperating with others in an office setting. Recently, the design and video line has blurred with PCs having speed gains and software developers releasing equal version of video editing and graphics software on the Mac and the PC.
One thing has always been true. PCs are much cheaper than Macs. Now, Steve Jobs is out to change that with his Mac mini starting at $500 without a monitor. Apple just keeps taking away the reasons for people to avoid using PCs for their home computers. In an office setting a Mac is still missing some important features. A recent eWeek article listed five key improvements for Macs to compete in the office.
