"We haven't had a good Mac vs. PC war in awhile."
Not so. Just watch any Mac commercial. :)
Seriously, their advertising is aimed at elitist, hipster liberals. Zero facts included in the ad. Their ad simply infers thats Macs are cool and hip and easy but PCs aren't.
Hey Mac, if you want me to buy a computer from you, stop insulting me and actually tell me something about your freaking product!!

I've seen a lot of facts in the commercials.
My Macs have never locked up or needed rebooting (as seen on the commercials). My PC needs to be rebotted once or twice a week.

Watch as the mac/pc argument changes to include linux. It's only a matter of time.

Without a doubt, apple advertising is awful.
That having been said, I'm a Macintosh user - and I really don't see why with Apple's introduction of Intel based systems that run both Mac OS and Windows XP natively that anyone would buy a computer system (Dell/Gateway/etc) where they are restricted to doing their business on a single OS that is susceptible to viruses, spyware, and security problems.
Mac OS is Unix based and is without a doubt a superior OS and realistically you can do whatever you need to do in Mac OS natively except for the extremely rare specialized business app. For that, you can boot into Windows.
Switching makes sense.
