Since this thread has turned serious, I will have to agree wholeheartedly with this sentiment of GD's.
I've grown up on Macs (have used them almost exclusively since 1987). Currently I use a PC quite a bit at work and it has been a learning curve for me (I actually have two computers on my desk: a Wintel box from HP and a G5 iMac).
And independant studies consistantly give the usability edge to the Mac operating system. Main factors usually given are intuitiveness and learnability (assuming no previous computer knowledge).
And Macs are and always will be swankier.
