I have had a couple of PC's before, and I currently have a Mac, and to be honest I do prefer the Mac. It's so much better for media projects imo and everything is just nicer-looking. The only thing I really liked about a PC was being able to play mmorpgs on it. I mean you can do that on a Mac but you'd have to download Windows through a program called Bootcamp and it takes up a lot of space.. oh well.

All blizzard games run natively on a mac. That includes WoW.

Nice to see that there are many Mac users in this forum. After buying my first Macbook, I don't think I'll ever purchase a PC again. I'm not a hardcore gamer or anything, so those compatibility issues are negligible for me. For me, they're highly functional. I appreciate them so much more for their elegant simplicity and virus-free operating system, as well for their ęsthetic. I have two now, which I think is enough for the time being, though I know it won't stop me from buying other Apple products: iPad anyone?

Both.  I love my PC, and its applications for business, but it is a bit cumbersome compared to my itouch and ipad which are alot easier to turn on and access wifi.

I don't think a lot of MAC users realize that their hardware and OS is a microsoft product

Uhm, no it's really not.

The Apple iOS is built off of a unix daemon more of a BSD style. The hardware is nothing related at all to microsoft. Microsoft doesn't even make hardware.

The hardware is custom made in how it's API ties into the software using Open CL which is a newer version of C and C++, which isn't proprietary to anyone or anything, hence the Open, which is why it works correctly all of the time, which is why there are far less software updates for the Apple. Apple was 64bit processing before Windows could even think of doing it in a non-server platform (Windows 2000 and Windows 2003) thus making use of the dual-core processing before Microsoft was adding it to smaller end machines, again, non-server platforms of the OS.

What makes you say this, your comment couldn't be further from the truth in all honesty.
