that's a great question. i use protools on both, pc (at home), and on a mac (at the studio). i definately get a higher plugin count on my pc, but with so many companies not catering their plugins to pc users, macs still have that edge. i do not see any performance benefits for either machine. they both do their job perfectly. the mac is only loaded up with protools at the studio, but at home, my protools rig is also my main and only computer, with my web design software and other music software, plus internet. i never can understand people who argue about which is better. in my opinion, neither is. if you dropped both off of a building, neither would work. i wish more plugins would come over to the pc side, because with the processor speeds going up and up, pc's may actually get some more respect. i am somewhat biased to pc's, because i understand them better and am more used to them. plus i can build a great pc for next to nothing these days. but, as i said, i'd like to see some more plugins ported to work on xp. whoops, babbling again.
