We've been working with both for some time and watched them, and used them, as they've developed.

My heart is with the Mac. I believe that it's a more modern looking and feeling interface, it's more intuitive and nicer to use.

HOWEVER, for anyone who's sitting at home wondering why when they installed vista their pc went all slow, windows 7 is how it SHOULD have been. It's fast, stable, looks nice, feels nice and is a genuine improvement on xp. It's going to be a genuinely nice upgrade for pc folks (although I do believe Microsoft should give a copy free to anyone who they insulted by making them endure the utter disaster that was vista).

Snow leopard is less of a revolutionary upgrade. There's some nice interface upgrades for sure, but the main focus is on speed, size of files and reliability. To that end, they've achieved it already and it's a REALLY worthwhile upgrade for those who can run it (those with older macs will be out of luck this time around sadly, it'll only run on Intel macs). Let's remember that instead of the usual $100 or so, the snow leopard upgrade will be $29 because they want everyone to install it. Bargain really!

As to which one to get, with win7 on a pc and snow leopard on a mac, I think they're once again levelish and it'll come down to personal preference as to which you prefer to use. They'll both do the same jobs and with vista in the garbage and win7 installed, the pc won't frustrate you quite as much ;-)

I have to say I think that the mac will be the more fun to use and has the most exciting things happening on it but at least with win7 windows users will be able to hold their heads high again
