I stick with PCs because I build my own boxes, the only branded/canned PC I've ever purchased was a laptop.

I can't really say much about the interface because the last time I used a Mac it had a black and white screen and a huge 10MB SCSI drive for storage. I use FreeBSD extensively on my servers so OSX could either be very familiar, or just different enough to be annoying (imagine changing from a Ford to a BMW and hitting the wipers instead of the turn signal)

I'd be interested in trying a Mac one day, I'm just not keen on rebuying licences to the software that I already own, some of which do not have an OS-crossover upgrade available.
