Lets put it in tasks.

Video editing. I do this everyday on a pc with no problems at all.
Music editing. I do this everyday on a pc with no problems at all.
Photoshop. I do this everyday on a pc with no problems at all.
Gaming. I do this everyday on a pc with no problems at all.
Browsing. I do this everyday on a pc with no problems at all.
Dreamweaver I do this everyday on a pc with no problems at all.

Btw we have itunes lol.

There is just simply no task a mac can accomplish that I cant on a pc.
OMG the "incompatibility issues" is so fucking 1993, surprised you didn't comment about the "one button mouse" (my mouse has 6 buttons and a scroll ball, and yes it's the standard mouse that come with the comp) .

It has nothing to do with what they can do, it all about how they get it done. PC are cumbersome and outdated. The new Vista is still way behind OS X, it's actually a pathetic attempt at trying to copy OS X.

I don't have annoying Anti-Virus or Spyware alerts popping up out of the blue, telling me everythign is ok, or not so well.

I can close every window on a program, but the program will continue to run. It doesn't quit the program until I tell it to quit.

With a click of my mouse I can spread out every single window I have open, mouse over it, it will tell me what that window is, and if I click on it, it will pull that window to the front.

Or if I hold down a key and press the Tab Button it will pull up a list of the programs icons and scroll thru them, from there I can quit that program or go to it, all without leaving the current program you are in.

Standard out of the box I can make a High Definition video into a pretty fucking good DVD with moving menus and music, no video cards to buy, no Firewire cards to buy, no software need, straight out of the box.

Out of the box I can make a photo book that will be sent to me, or lots of other crazy photo shit, without the need of logging into any website.

I also a video card (standard) that can run two 30" widescreen monitors.

voice recognition comes standard, I can say "start photoshop" and bam, photoshop starts, I can say "save file" and bam the file gets saved, plus hundreds of other commands. I could fucking make start Firefox and go to GFY.com everytime I told it go to go fuck itself if i wanted to. I say tell me a joke and the fucking computer tells me a joke, usually a knock knock which requires you to answer back.

I can use Automator to do shit that I don't even know what to do, I have yet to get into this program but it's pretty fucking sick what it will do. It can bascially take a file and run it through several programs I tell it to, to get an end result, then make a droplet for you, so all you have to do is drop a file or a folder of files onto the droplet and it fucking does it all while you go mow the fucking lawn or spend time with your kids.

Out of the box, I can plug my guitar into the comp and have a wide large variety of amp effex to chose from, throw in some drum tracks, or whatever, and fucking jam out.

If I was into podcasting, I would have a badass set of podcasting tools, including sound effects, voice editing, etc. Standard, out of the box, comes with it.

I could go on and on... I have no doubt your PC can do everything my Mac can do, it's just how it gets done that's the main difference.
