So, as you most likely do know more about home movies, please tell me, there is no way at all to make a Home Movie on a PC? For sure? Not even with say, Windows Movie Maker 2? A program that all of 1/2 a minute of search on the web found for me?
I have never made a movie on my PC. But if I decided I needed to, I'm pretty sure my PC can handle the task.

ok, I'll amend to typical support guy who doesn't create anything on their computer.
MovieMaker. Right. You haven't used it obviously. It is even a joke up in Redmond. You ask some of the MS guys who are here.
The bottom line is that for the typical consumer who wants to manage their digital photos, movies, music, etc, the iApps are far and away the best choice.
If you want to play games, PC is the best choice. I have a PC setup for soley that.
If you want to do word processing and surf the web, a push. XP is miles better than previous windows OSs wrt ease of use and how often it breaks, but for the typical user, the Mac OS is still easier and requires less configuration/tweaking. And at this point in time, you don't have to worry about viruses and spyware/malware. On the PC it is constant threat. Yes there are programs to combat it, but that is yet another layer of crap that you have to deal with.
And I used to support both windoze and mac labs, so I'm not just a content creator (win2K and os8/9/x).
