If it comes down to two people arguing over Mac/PC then clearly you've entered the idiots kingdom so whatever you say, isn't going to make any difference. Personally, I believe there should be an option for "bitch slap both of them" but whatev.

I think the issue is most of us here have been there, done that. You don't end up changing anyone's mind. In the end it's a waste of time and effort.
Nope, arguing over such things is just silly. I'm happy to discuss my reasons for using mac products with anyone who is interested in such matters, but I'm not a mac apologist. Personal electronics are tools and what tools people use comes down to their personal preference.
This is exactly how I feel.
Some people I recommend to not get a mac because it does not match their needs.
I think people finally realized PCs are junk. The automobile market is dominated by cheap cars too. So does that make them better?
I don't really care what computer a person uses. I say use what you like and prefer; don't worry about what others are using.
I use both OS X and Windows 7 and I like them both.
Accept Windows 7 is a more capable and compatible OS than OSX?
If people realized PCs are junk, why do they ship more PC's in one qauter than Apple has ever made Macs in its existence?
Seriously, Apple hardware is a joke in my industry.
Anyone who thinks " apple is better for everything " doesn't know what the **** they are talking about.
OSX, Win 7 and Server have advantages and disadvantages. Both serve a purpose.
Like PCs and Macs, both are meant for different people.
And I hate to burst your bubble, there are some PC OEMs that blow the hell out of anything Apples makes in build quality and performance.

Boring and not worth the energy. Everybody shouts their talking points at each other and then congratulates themselves for schooling yet another fanboy. That really covers a lot of arguments though, not just Mac vs. PC.
If I thought it was a constructive conversation that'd be a different matter. I was at a family reunion a few weeks ago and a relative was plotting out their next computer purchase. It's a lot easier to discuss pros and cons when the target audience is receptive to both or at least doesn't think you're some sort of a blind zealot, so that I didn't mind getting involved in.

I doubt two people fighting over computers would know how to make a fist let alone throw a punch.
I'd like to be able to say I would take the high road and completely avoid such childish affairs, I really do...
...But in all honestly I probably wouldn't be able to avoid the temptation.
Though I'd probably be more of a mediator of sorts, I really don't have a specific preference over one or the other anymore.
