Look, Kingfrog, I'm sorry, but if it stopped with just building the damn PC, you'd have a really good point. But even on this thread there are fulltime IT people. What possible reason do they have to exist if, once you had snapped your twelve components together, that was it...?
The hyperbole, or exaggeration on this thread if you will, I'm afraid comes from those that want (all evidence to the contrary) to try and persuade us that using a PC is EASY, problem-free, and takes no more time than penning a simple ditty... 
I don't know ANY Mac IT people. How many IT PC people do you know? Oh, and just for the record, a component fails on a Mac, it is easy to replace, as well... (they aren't set in epoxy, you know!).
But once again, I'm flattered by all the attention... there are several others on this thread articulating exactly the same thing as me. But you don't seem to have any inclination to address THEM (or even notice that mine is not a lone opinion). What's up, Froggy? No-one else wants to play your game? 
IT people deal primarily with NETWORKS.....There are not many MAC IT people because BUSINESSES don't generally use MACs. It's that simple.
Perhaps the question should be WHY business never caught on to APPLE since they both were available and Apple was supposed to be so much better!!
SEAMASTER said "I am a PC" ...I AM?!!!No need to reply.
Musicman22 claimed years of issues with PCS..no need to refute his personal experience.
But No one claimed they may as well build their cars and arrangers equate that to putting a PC together as a real hindrance to their music creating time!! LOL. Sometimes the most exxagerated claims have to be addressed. Your's feel into that category.
You never answered the OP's question. No one did except me. Does 32but SW run on 64 bit machines.....Simple. The thread immediatly got into Visa Sucks....MAC is great and I got sucked in. Vista does suck and MAC is great for 9% of the computer market right now.
One of the IT people he would said get a MAC
if software was available. I said as much myself but added the demand for non proprietary components and the ability to get it up and running if one of those components fail myself to avoid days of repair and inflated prices for such.
Yes A PC IS indeed easy to use, build and for the most part problem free. NewEgg.com and many other website like it are huge and started by selling components to "roll your own".
Windows Issues have been exaggerated mostly by MAC users. No virus on MAC etc...Who is going to wirte code for 9% of users when they can spend their time affecting 90%? Legit Software companies don;t even seek out the MAC market!!!!
People are free to buy APPLE! 90% of the market apparently does not feel Windows is terrible enough to do so and apparently they also must know the benefits have outweighed the failings since the PC was invented!!!
