<p>You should read some of the other discussions in this thread of Mac v PCs. Some of them are quite insightful.

<p>Mostly, though, Macs are known for being overpriced (generally 2-3 times the cost of a PC with similar specifications). The operating system is no longer a matter of user-friendly (Mac) vs techie/pro (Windows) since Windows has really become user-friendly in the last few years. So feel-wise, the different operating systems are not revolutionarily different. If you are going to need a lot of different software (since you mentioned business major, though I don’t know what that would entail), then Windows is going to be the best for that.
Conclusion? Go for Windows. There’s no reason to get a Mac.</p>
