Both have their advantages and disadvantages. The seperation between the two isn't as great as it used to be.
Mac is slicker, maybe a little easier to use. But it's PRICEY. If you do video or photo work, it might be the best option as the industry tends to support Macs better than PCs. It's biggest issue is its price.
Windows 7 has made PCs more than tolerable. It really is a huge step up from Windows Vista/XP/2000/ME/98/95, both in terms of speed and stability. I am shocked when anything in my Windows 7 crashes. It rarely happens. And when it does, it's usually due to my computer starting to overheat, hehe. And you can get the same spec'd PC as a Mac for a whole lot less. If you play games, PC is the way to go too.
If you just need it to surf the net, use facebook, looking at photos, etc and aren't worried about trying to look hip by having a Mac, just save your money and get a PC. If you aren't too worried about the price, get a Mac...because you can always install Windows on it, too!
Most people (who use Macs or have switched to Macs) will come and and blindly just say OS X. But it really depends on what you do with the computer whether it's worth it or not. I used to be a Mac WHORE and was forced upon PCs. It was hard because I was resistant, but after awhile you just realize the whole PC versus Mac competition with their fanbases is all bullshit and pointless.
I'd prefer to have a Mac. Because I work in video and most of the cool new video hardware devices tend to be made for Mac before PC if a PC version is made at all. But it really is just more of a "hip" thing to have for 90% of the people out there. For most of them, spending the extra money (unless they just have the money to spend and nothing else important they need) for what they do on it makes no sense.
