Ive always used PC's. Ive had 2 laptops and share my family desktop with my family and it was good. But ever since 5th grade when i started doing video editing with my school and they had Macs, Ive always wanted one of them. Problem is, is the tracnsaction from PC to Mac easy? Also, Macbooks will bot Vista, right? And does Windows running on a Macbook work just as it would if it was on a regular PC? Now the other problem is, my dad works for a small branch of Microsoft that does anti-virus testing the product and creates and fixes the product. Its going to be hard to talk him into putting half the money into a Mac for me. What can i say to him to realise that it is worth it and Macs are good? THanks!

Simple my friend...
If you do stuff like music, graphics, video editing...that kind of stuff...a mac....
if not, pc is sufficient

It is very easy to go from PC to Mac. Mac's do not get viruses, it's as simple as that....let your dad know, that with a PC, it's easy to get a virus, if the virus is bad enough, it could ruin your whole hard drive, which would mean replacing it. Macbooks will support the windows operating systems....you can go to the apple site, and search for bootcamp....I would recommend the parallel program though (you can find this at apple.com as well)....I would recommend a Mac for anyone doing anything with visual or audio.

There is no question that a MAC is superior to PC in relibility and they are virtually virus free. If your Dad works for Microsoft, he already knows MACs are better. I own both and they are different but not enough that you can't transition easily. The only drawback to MAC is the software is limited and expensive.
