Hello Toni E,
I'm a Mac user, so I'm a bit biased. I think that the Mac has an easier user interface, but frankly, Windows XP is so much like it now, that you can't hardly tell the difference.
There are slight differences. Windows has the task bar at the bottom of the screen, where you have all of your open files. The Mac has a the dock at the bottom of the screen, which has your open applications.
Windows PCs have a lot more cool games than the Mac. This might change now that Apple has started using the Intel processor. The main business software for Windows is Microsoft Office, while the main business software for the Mac is more for publishing by Adobe.
The Mac Operating System uses a Unix kernel (Apple has recently become the biggest distributor of Unix), so it uses a very secure computer OS. Where Windows seems to be set up for IT folks to easily working on networked computers, the Macs comes out of the box as a closed, secure system. Thus, no computer viruses.
I hope that this helps.

Macs have a more user-friendly design for beginners. Some people prefer style over substance, and hate microsoft, so they choose mac.
PCs are more powerful, cheaper, have a more robust operating system, are more upgradeable, and are the only choice for gaming.
