Its mainly up to personal preferences nowadays.

Still jetzt, denn hier wohnt ein böser Gott...

well .... i don't know .... but it seems that when you are "work more less game" type person ... mac would be your choice ...

well... macs are a lot easier to make creative stuff with... I used the iMac that I'm on right now, I don't even own it, it belongs to my school's housing department.

And I pulled together a little music video using just my imageshack and the iMovie program provided on it.

But other than being easier to do simple things...

There's really not much difference between a Mac and a PC, they both run the same software, and the software is what really counts.

it's all about the software .....
i use both and apart from the different hot key on the keyboard. there's no difference at all.
pc can sometime get on your nerve a lot, but if you are not use to a mac then it's even more annoying.

if you are comparing the two in general, i would go for mac.
but referring to your question, personally i dont see a difference.

hope this helps~

FAQ #101: What do the symbols in front of everyones names really mean?

Agreed, for the most part.

With Windows, your gamma is going to be too dark for most images. You can use a color-calibrator to straighten it up though. On a Mac your Gamma will be slightly too light, and again, you can correct that with calibration.

Once you get used to both systems, the Mac is typically more user-friendly. Those incessant pop-up balloons in XP drive me nuts. (Would you like to stop drawing and clean up your desktop icons? What about software updates, is this a good time? Let's take a tour of Windows XP, right now!)

Modern Macs come with multi-prosessors, a rock-solid RAM-friendly OS, and (finally) a 4-button mouse with an X (and Y!) axis scroll-ball.

It's worth a try, and if you don't like it you'll just have a very nice Windows Box, since it's also an Intel processor now. But most people would like the Mac OS once they give it a shot. I used to hate it, but it grew on me. Now I use it 95% of the time.

For making art? No. For running the applications one can use to create art, in my opinion, yes. I greatly prefer the Mac OS to Windows for using Adobe's Creative Suite and the like due to the floating palettes. I am easily frustrated working on Windows when I'm jumping back and forth between Illustrator, Photoshop, and InDesign.

No, because most of the main programs used for digital art are available on both Macintosh's or Windows' OS's.

Macs are typically more expensive than the common pc, and with that expense comes lots of power and speed which you will need to run a huge program, such as Photoshop.

I love my mac. I hate pc's

Expose is my reason for living.

Honestly, I was once sat in front of a machine running Panther (pre-expose) and I just couldn't use it. I said I can't work on this machine, and demanded a machine with Expose. I just can't function without it anymore.

The Public is more Familiar with Bad Design than Good Design. It is, in effect, conditioned to prefer Bad Design, because that is what it lives with. The new becomes Threatening, the Old Reassuring.
