Should I buy a Mac or a PC?

Aren't there still some things a Mac running windows can't do? I remember looking at this issue when Vista came out and there were problems and I was thinking about it but one of the radio systems programming software from butel.nl that I use to program the scanners we use in news would run but no USB to serial converter would run on a Mac running windows, little things like that can be a deal breaker.

I stayed PC and now with Windows 7 all is good, my older retired laptop which is my desktop (asus G50v) is running Windows 7 32 bit and my mobile laptop (Asus G51 quad core) is running Windows 7 64 bit and only one bit with Arc 396xt which hangs up in 64 bit OS and won't run but all else is perfect, from programming to video capture and rendering to running Wirecast (telestream) and Streambox for real-time live video encoding and broadcast.

I'm not against Mac's, I am sure they are useful for something but I remember that one little bug back a few years ago had me having second thoughts so thoroughly evaluate everything you think you will possibly use that computer for and find out if everything will work because if the one program that won't work in windows on a Mac is important then you won't be happy.
