Somebody once said that Macs are for people who like Emmylou Harris, PCs (well Windows) are for Dolly Parton fans. (I like both women for many reasons).
The most recent Microsoft products have made PCs superficially more user friendly, but if you try and do anything even remotely complicated, you discover that the "mental maps" that operate the underlying software systems are completely different, and drive people nuts. I used PC's for years, and then switched over to Macs not by choice. I would never, ever go back: you will have to pry my machine out of my dead hands. Macs are much simpler for human beings, make logical sense for users (not technical experts) and they can connect up to everything easily. They are a dream for children. I have colleagues who are almost completely stuck having to do nothing but wordprocessing on their PC's, because once they step out of line, nothing makes any sense. I work with people who are working on PC's all day long, and the struggles they go through are pathetic -- trying to find system files, documents, printer files. The only good things about PCs are those they stole from Macs, and the fact that they own a large part of the market, so there is some convenience in that.
They are both going out the window with Linux and the Internet anyway, so the dispute is becoming like that between Protestants and Catholics.
