I'm a PC, not a Mac

Personally, I have not spent much time using a Mac, therefore I prefer a PC. I spend most of my time working off of Windows and with Microsoft programs on my PC. The Mac software is a little confusing to me but could be simply because I have not been exposed to it nearly as often as the PC software. Growing up, we always had a PC and I have only recently started to work with Macs. I find myself spending more time and energy figuring out how to work something on a Mac than actually completing the work I was trying to in the first place. Of course this frustrates me and I blame the Mac software but it is only because it is unfamiliar.
The main difference between Macs and PCs is the operating systems. PCs run on Windows and Macs run of OS X, which can be run as both Windows and Linux. An advantage of a Mac is that it can run both and Mac has worked to design distinct programs and applications specifically for OS X. While Macs can get all the Windows programs and applications, PCs are unable to get both software; yet another advantage of a Mac.
PCs do have one major advantage which is that they are cheaper and usually in a person's price range. With computers not lasting as long as they used to because they are used so much, they are getting replaced more and a PC is much cheaper to replace than a Mac.
I have always been told that once a person goes Mac, they never come back because it is so much better. Somme of my friends have Mac books and admit that they now hate using a PC.
