In my own experience.....I seem to be saying that a lot tonight! A decent built PC that's maintained properly (and that's the key) will run and run with little or no issues. So many folk seem to think the PC will look after itself which simply isn't the case. I'm constantly cleaning, checking etc. but the system (touch wood) works perfectly for that bit of ongoing attention.
I prefer PC for the simple fact that I like to get in and get my hands dirty, be able to upgrade and, if needed, throw away and start again!
I just don't see the point in paying out a great deal on a Mac only to then run a program that allows you to boot into a Windows environment. Linux is certainly the way forward but it's not on a level that is user friendly or software compatible enough just yet.
Couple of things I've changed with my system over the years. I only run WinXP, I don't allow any automatic updates after installing SP2, this has made a huge difference.
