I'm a mac guy turned PC. I had a Lisa, and a Mac 128 later upgraded to a 512, then a Mac plus all the way up through a Quadra 950, when I decided to make the switch.
You can make great music on both, but sometimes I play the game: "if I had to start from scratch today, what would I do.."
I'm thinking Mac. Macs in many ways force you to have a simpler system. There's just less that will run on them. Plus all the Mac people I know doing music at least seem to have less downtime. And I admit to having some daw envy everytime I see Logic Pro 7. Makes my Cubase SX system just seem, I dunno, ordinary.
It's an old argument that will never be settled, still I find it interesting and worthy of discussion.
