No probs on a PC.

No spyware or virus checkers. Always keeps it speed, doesnt slow down or become annoying after a couple of years on a installation. Always feels nice and quick and sleek. Less errors and doesnt throw a hissy fit every now and then which requires massive amounts of menus and such. Less pop ups, stays out the way. Just works. Much more stress-free than using windows.

If you have no virus checker your fooling yourself, the MAc is riddled with them too, you even have spyware, but unfortunately a lack of programs to detect it.
I've still to see a PC program that causes a hissy fit and "then which requires massive amounts of menus and such"...
My PC just works, has done for several years and with Firefox (free) i dont get no popups, spyware or adverts for that matter.

Rather good for video and graphic work  Kinda fun  Cool features and useful ones such as expose and spotlight (expose i cannot live without now!).

The PC can do that too.
The thing about the PC is that A) its cheaper and B) can do more.
Point still stands, the only difference is that a MaC looks better, but costs more and can do less, and if your really that bothered the money difference between a PC and a mAC would allow you to "pimp your PC" to look like anything you want really.

Thats a fairly sweeping statement, i cant argue it though as i have tried neither but there are loads of programs capable of doing it on a PC.

It will then add itself to the Uni's Active Directory domain and set up admin rights accordingly. Windows can do that, as long as you use a Microsoft DHCP server, or reconfigure the DHCP server that you do use.

Now THATS more like it, quite impressive too, i like the whole self install thing.
Although you can set up a PC to do that i certainly wouldn't, that seems to be an advantage that a mAc has, it has exactly the same hardware in every Model.
Although i could also argue the disadvantages of that as well in that you may want to have the option to build your own.
