Contrary to Apple's marketing, plenty of good reasons abound to buy a Windows PC. Here are a few of them.
Let's just say it: For the vast majority of computer shoppers, buying a Windows PC doesn't quite qualify as a decision.

Which is not to say that there aren't plenty of real reasons to select a computer that runs Windows, even after you've investigated all your options. As a confirmed platform agnostic whose home is overrun with both Windows machines and Macs, I find myself recommending Windows machines to about half my friends and acquaintances who seek computer-shopping advice, and Macs to the other half.
