What makes the experience so enjoyable on the Mac is the operating system.
Probably most of you have had a virus. I know I've been infected a couple times on my PC, even with active anti-virus program. There are over 500 viruses created each month for the PC, so the chances of you accidentally getting a virus on your PC are pretty high. Spy ware has also become a huge issue that is growing into a bigger and bigger problem everyday. Here is where the Mac is different; there are virtually no viruses created for the Mac platform. Acouple do exist, but they are so rare, most Mac users don't even use an anti-virus program. Neither Norton nor McAfee make an OS X virus scan program, because they have not seen any need to do so. It is the same for spyware ; there is virtually no spyware made for OS X. Certainly spyware detection programs DO exist for the Mac, but there is no spyware made for Mac, so it's a useless program!
The ease-of-use and lack of problems on the Mac compared to a PC is readily apparent. How many of you have gotten a BSOD (Blue Screen of Death) on your PC? No doubt at least half of you have. Mac's do not have these problems. They simply work. I haven't had a single problem with any of my three Mac systems in the past year. All three of my systems have been 100% flawless. Only once during this entire year period has my Mac locked up on me. I wish I could say the same about my PC's. Unfortunately, I cannot.
If you're a creative person that uses graphic and video software on your PC, you should also take a look at the Mac. Apple's have long been considered the "creative user computer." The software on the Mac also backs up this claim. The Mac has Final Cut Pro, Photoshop, Soundtrack, Shake 3 (which is used in most recent movies for visual effects and compositing, such as the Matrix and Lord of the Rings), Motion, DVD Studio Pro; the list just goes on. The Mac is the best system for creative purposes.
