I'd say try both systems and get the one that is least frustrating to you.

There are pros and cons to both. I have found many more pros with Mac. No plans on going back to PC. Don't be afraid to try. You just may find Mac to be much more intuitive and a stronger system. Yes, viruses are possible. Some of us still are comfortable enough to avoid antivirus.

I did not hate operating a PC except for the filing/saving/uploading/downloading system. Convoluted. Mac is much easier for me. I also can't stand constant spyware and such. It makes me want to smash the thing.

PCs kinda remind me of Internet Explorer - slow as molasses and overun by viruses..

Try for an extended period before you buy and don't settle for PCs for life before trying, imo.
