Another example of PCWorld bull.
There is no reason why you cannot use PCs and Macs on the same network, through the same router. The protocols used on the internet are a worldwide standard, and are platform independant.
As long as you have at least OSX 10.2 (Jaguar) then you can also share files over the network (the Mac will see the shared files on the PC).
Edit: One good site I found for helping integrate Macs and PCs:
