as far as people being creative using mac's:

3 type's of people use a mac:
1. musicians
2. artists
3. unemployed/loser's (see previous)

i think macs are waaaaay too confined compared to pc's and wtf... how much money do you need to waste for 'proprietary' hardware.

again... linux>all

lol at least someone got it

its an os, choose what you want! btw i didnt originally say the unemployed thing, i just thought it was hilarious.

macs are ok in their place for what you do. as with a fast car, it depends on how much $$ you dump into it to be successful. with enough cash you can have a computer that does pretty much anything, pc's just get there ALOT quicker and easier and inexpensive compared to mac's

as for linux, i use it cuz its a hell of alot faster than any worth while osx or windows on my laptop, and to game i just use wine and i can do anything.

im not up to date on my macs, i have the new leopard and its nice n all, but its just a watered down version of vista in my opinion. its flashy n all, but doesnt posess any real 'computing' capabilities (your still stuck with the confines of a mac instead of the freedom windows & linux gives you) so i dont use it other than to steal the genie lamp minimize effect to use in linux

entry level vs. entry level machines i think macs come across as more polished than most pc's

however, any kind of technical enthusiast would choose a pc since you can just do sooo much more to/with it
