you really need to try them out. There are editing programs on the mac that are so much better. It's like trying to compare paint to PS.

ok...what programs? i'd try them just to see the differences. i have 2 pc's here and a mac. all 3 comps have high specs and similar programs. what i've noticed was that on the mac, security wasn't so much of an issue....and the pc's had better performance and didn't cost thousands of dollars.

edit: another point. It goes to show you how not one of those programs are exceptionally better than the others. If one was really nice, then you wouldn't have 1,001 different programs.

all those programs specialize in different things. but to counter your point anyways, the PC has 1001 times as many developers of programs, there are many greta options for your needs. Its great apple has one program that works form most people, but I'd always choose more options over that.

vector > bitmap

but seriously, there are more options for PC but the Mac options are often times better. EX: FinalCut Pro was used to make LOTR because it is better than the PC competitors.

And an assload of pc's were bunged together to render the cgi for lotr, becuase macs weren't upto the job.

The 16 servers each have 1GB of RAM and a 9GB SCSI hard disk.

Weta, an offshoot of Peter Jackson's Wingnut Films, expects to create and manage nearly 100 terabytes of information during the production of over 1200 visual effect shots needed for the films.

The sheer volume of data movement each day, with many files in excess of 1Gb, creates major technical challenges.

That's exactly what I'm saying, they are good at different things, macs are good at editing and PCs are better for other things like gaming, rendering, things that need more power. I was just trying to give an example of something that macs are good at to the people who are trying to say PCs are better in every way shape and form.
