That was an issue you created. I was talking computers in general, but you wanted to narrow it down when you realized that a PC can't compete with a Mac in the high-end on any level. You had to find some retreat where the Mac doesn't go -- the low-end -- so you could keep up your self-delusion that the PC is all-great in all areas.
But for features and performance, everyone does his own balancing act. On the lower end, if you want lots of high-quality included software and excellent ease-of-use, you go Mac. If you want just a box where you have to buy software to do anything, go PC. Personally, I've built lots of PCs myself to do just the latter, and I definitely won't be getting a Mac when I make myself a RAID file server next year. But it'll be running Linux since I'm not going to blow several hundred dollars on a Windows license that won't do anything more for me than the Linux box will.
