[Hidden-tech] Mac or PC?

[Paul Stallman]

Dina,

I will tell you we use PC's for all of our graphic design, but as soon as I
get some extra $$ built up we are going to switch over to an all Mac shop.
I was sold on PC's until I just bought a new laptop with all the bells and
whistles running Vista.  It's basically convinced me that Mac's are better.
Unfortunately we just invested many thousands in a shop wide CS3 upgrade for
PC's.  So it might be a while before we get to switch.  Vista is a great
sales tool for Apple. :)

I'm a graphic designer and have been using Macs since the late 80's 
when they were developed. My latest Mac was a G4 Titanium Laptop, which 
I purchased about 6 years ago. I  spent the last 3 years doing 
marketing and events, with only side graphics jobs. Now that my 
graphics works has picked up again, I realized I have to buy a new 
laptop.
My question:
Is the Mac still superior to the PC in graphics, audio and video 
editing?
I know the Adobe Pro suite and the Macromedia suite are cross platform. 
Many people are using PC's for audio and video editing. And everything 
for Mac is more expensive.
I have to update soon, I'd love to hear some feedback.
Thanks,
