It is completely subjective and based on your particular needs.

Windows would be good if it wasn't slow, didn't get spyware, trojans, viruses, and didn't crash.
:D

I don't buy the spyware/anti-virus/worm thing. I ran a spyware sweeper, a virus scan, and system cleaner once a week when I used a PC, and it ran like new until I replaced it.

I prefer Mac's because of the way everything meshes together. I love having my contacts synced over my iPhone and address book, along with my calenders and email. I love how Mail, iChat, Address Book, iCal, etc. all seem to work so well together, and I never have to worry about compatibility issues.

Features > Security worries.

There are many good reasons that Microsoft has spent years copying the MacOS.... :)

Keyboard use

I love the fact that Mac OS provides much wider keyboard support and also allows us to customize shortcuts. A standard menu for each and every third-party app makes it easier to get familiar with the app. Also, you dont have to hunt too much looking for stuff like preferences of every third-party app bcoz the shortcuts for preferences are same for all (most of them). Everything seems standardized and hence saves time.

um.. no, Mac really ISN'T better than PC.
the best operating system is the one that works the best for you.
os x has many advantages over windows.
but windows also has many advantages over os x.
it's mostly just a matter of opinion.
