Good question Ian. For me the following answers:
1. I work in an environment that is a mix of PC and Unix machines. They
don't provide Macs, so at work I use a PC. Most of my work involves using
apps that are available on both platforms, but the email app (outlook) and
few other apps like Terminal Services are better supported on PC.

I have to disagree as I administer a heterogeneous network, including an Exchange server (not my choice). If the Win servers are set up correctly I find that Entourage or Mail are better than Outlook. And Terminal Services work no better or no worse. I also have to deal with Citrix, which I must confess was a royal pain to get working but also now works the same. Hell there is even a Java App for Citrix that works fine.

2. My laptop is a pc because of the above. I supplied it, but I have it so
I can work from home or on the road.

3. I like games and the PC gets them sooner and has better/faster video.

i started thinking about this the other night, and its a nice,
different, flamewar-pronte topic for the list I figured...

basically, I know a lot of mac users. I also know a lot of people who
think they're great computers, but for one reason or another, don't
have one. My question is simple: for all you non-mac users out there
in INW land, what is the main reason you don't have a mac?
