1) Grew up with PC
Understandable - most people have and that is where the bias begins as they have little to know experience with other platforms.

2) Love the GUI vs. Mac's
I don't get this one unless you never use Macs or use PCs 90% like my wife. If this is the case, you expect things to be more complicated than they are b/c that is what most experience with their Windows boxes. My wife for example I think feels this way (I had to show her how to set-up a new photo printer - Apple menu/System prefs/Printers (really uncomplicated but she's used to the PC way). I'm on a PC at work and make the choice to use a Mac at home b/c I have no issues and the GUI is like my right hand.

3) Know how to fix Windows (thus, it doesn't break on me anymore either).
That's great for people who like to tinkle with their PCs. I prefer to use my Macs which never seems to need to be "fixed". I'm not saying things never go wrong, but then again, things go wrong with everything no matter how high end, just not nearly as often.

4) Love wide variety of software selections
Tons of selection = tons of shit too. Also you could always boot into Windows to run any app you want at full speed under Windows if you REALLY need to.

5) Love being able to buy any part I want, not just 'Apple Approved"
You obviously have not been made aware that Apple runs under Intel now? You do not need to buy Apple approved parts.

Did I miss anything?
