All right, prove your negative.

Macs can run all Windows software, All versions of DOS, UNIX, BE-OS, AmigaOS, AtariOS, C-64 Software, all variations of LINUX, Mac OS X, Mac OS, THE-OS, and several other more obscure operating systems that run under emulation or Virtualization. So what proof do you have that PCs can run more?

Really?

If I partition a modern mac and install Win 7 in one partition, and a brand of Linux in another, plus the partition that runs OSX — I can run any and all software made for each of those OSs in native modes with no hacks to make them work as they are designed.

You cannot install OSX on a cheap pc without major hacks — plus, if you do it will not run as designed - things will break like printing,
