It’s my observation that PCs are great for business types. Windows and Microsoft Office have really dominated the office productivity area and done it well. There is a set formula and structure behind the Windows and its office software- something an analytical mind can appreciate. Macs are great for the creative types. It can keep pace with their thought processes (which are often unstructured and/or chaotic) and OS X performs nicely despite unusual or unreasonable demands (I want to drag ‘n’ drop my beautiful photo into this application and have it magically appear- all without having to open it, copy it and paste it first).

I use a Mac at work and a PC at home. My PC was built for gaming, watching DVDs and surfing the Web (so many games and parts of the Web are still configured only for PCs!). And yes, I stuck with Windows XP Pro at home…I don’t plan on switching to Vista just yet.

My Mac lets me do anything task I imagine a computer should let me do. Yes, I do drag and drop photos into applications and they magically appear (sans the fairy dust sound effect). I also search my entire hard drive through Quicksilver because the finder can’t keep up with my thoughts when I’m in the flow.

What about you? Are you into Mac, PC, both or neither? [What exactly is a Sparkstation classified as, anyway?] What flavor OS?
