We both have our strong points, so, it's really just a matter of what you hope to accomplish when you use one of us!
Seriously, why are we always fighting?
I don't know PC, perhaps some advertising bigwigs want more money, so they make you seem inferior to me in hopes of getting people to buy more of me, and I just think that's kinda mean.
Windows Vista's User Account Control protects users by changing the level of access users have on the system. Many Windows XP users operate in administrator mode for convenience in hardware and software installations, but all that access means malware can do a lot more damage if it manages to get into the system. UAC in Windows Vista will prompt the user before performing any major system-level actions, such as software installations or when you try to access such restricted features as parental controls.
The good news is that you can still proceed with these actions from a standard user account by entering in the administrator password. The bad news is that UAC seems to be as hypersensitive as the Boston public safety officials. Expect to get hit by UAC prompts frequently as you set up your Vista system. UAC has the potential to be very annoying, but like the bumper sticker says, "freedom isn't free." We'll let you know when the UAC oversteps its bounds with illegal wiretaps.
See? It'll happen a lot while you get Vista running and installing all your software because it does prompt you to install software. Now hmm, let's think of all the different things you install at the start. Of course you're going to get slammed with them. But the commercial exaggerates: you're not going to get one every time you try to do anything on Vista. It's not like "Open the start menu; cancel or allow. Open the Programs Folder; cancel or allow." Once you get Vista running, you'll only get those pop-ups once in a while when you go to install something new, like a new video game or a program upgrade. But of course they're going to be more frequent when you're first setting up. Like I said earlier, they should have tried using the OS for more than 20 minutes before passing judgement.
Also, after reading that entire article, I wish to leave the "Not Vista" club. Vista looks totally awesome.
Currently, my biggest quandary is that my wireless usb keyboard doesn't work during the boot-up sequence, so I can't choose what OS I want to boot into in the GRUB menu, so it defaults to ubuntu. Not a huge deal though.
... No? It's because Macs have "superior" and "easier to use" graphics editing software than PCs, but that's all just rubbish. It's a matter of the artist's own skill, not what software they're running.

I don't care if you have the best software in the world. If you have no skill, your art is still going to suck. In fact, I dare say that some of the most impressive computer generated art I've seen was done in MS Paint.

I've never seen MS Paint art sold commercially. While good artists can create good art in Paint, they can create great art with less effort in more capable programs.
More capable programs that can be had regardless of your platform. Art people like Macs, but really they could install Linux for all the difference it makes. In some cases they'd be better off with Windows anyhow, but perhaps they just like macs because "they look purty!" Really it makes the not-Mac people they have to work with get all furious because they are far more comfortable with windows and maybe they are like me and think that having to work with OSX is like pulling teeth.
Long story short, Macs used to be the platform of choice for art stuffs. They really offer no advantage whatsoever these days, but that reputation has not gone away. I don't know why.
Photoshop and Premiere 6.0 work just fine on my computer at home, but I have nothing but problems with premiere and photoshop 7.0 on the macs at school. Though I have a feeling that has to do with the way the computers are set up, rather than with the fact that they're macs.

And I'm a PC!

Yeah, I'm gonna go play games Mac.
Cool, I'm gonna go make some kickin' art.
That would be the best commercial ever.
I've been curious about that for awhile now.
I live in a third-world country! It's nice!

Because of these guys.

I refer you to this :P

Still, I loves my PC.
I will say I do enjoy OSX very much. (OpenSUSE is nice, too)
I only just got the fonts in firefox to look good to my eyes. Go me!
No, I'm not an undercover salesman.
