@MaikUniversum it depends for what purpose you want to use it. if u are 12 and would like to play games a lot go for pc. if you would like to make movies, surf the web and have safe and a nice looking product go for mac. both have it's advantages and disadv.
Almost any OS is almost impossible to hack with a little know how. Most security breaches happen because of human error or negligence. And, no offense, but the typical Mac user is the most negligent of them all.
You can protect from most attacks by doing the following: Don't use an administrative or root user; Keep your computer up to date; Shut down services you're not using; Disabling Flash and Javascript (I know, I know); DON'T RUN FILES IF YOU CANNOT TRUST WHO THEY CAME FROM!
@Aciddaggerr Actually you're confused. Emulation is when a program has to translate commands made to the hardware to trick software in running on hardware it normally wouldn't. But the hardware between a PC and Mac is exactly the same now, so that's not needed.
Now Windows can run natively just like Windows on any other machine. It does run slower in a shell (such as VMWare, or virtual PC), but that's only because you're running two OS' at the same time.
@Aciddaggerr No, when you run bootcamp it partitions your hardrive into a Windows and an OSX partition. You install a copy of Windows on your Mac straight from the Windows OS disc. They both run slightly slower than they would on their own, but it is anything but a Windows emulator
@Apocalypticable C, C++, Java, Ruby, a little javascript, Bash, and a little bit of python. I'm not an "expert" in any of them, but I know enough to understand hacking and viruses/trojans.
I can buy a PC and run Mac stuff for free.
Hackintosh ftw!

@AndrewDeLong unless you're going against a super hacker (in which case very few computers would really be safe), Macs are less likely to get hacked.
