I still have to use Windows to play games, but at least its only for gaming. I use the Mac OS/x side for anything serious. That way I don't have to constantly reinstall Windows because it gets bloated with crap.

To be fair, you really do not have to reinstall windows. A little more care on installing/downloading and normal maintenance prevents any of the above mentioned.

I also don't really have to worry about drivers since the Mac Bootcamp software informs me when new drivers are out. Its effortless.

Again, same applies, more attention to detail/care/maintenance alleviates issues/problems hassles.

I have the best of both worlds, gorgeous hardware, a great and reliable OS that looks highly polished and a computer that just doesn't crash, and when I want to play games I can switch to XP if I want to play games. So far I have only had to reinstall XP once to keep it running smoothly, as opposed to doing it regularly when I was using it on a PC.

Seriously, I am not trying to flame here.

Actually, MS'es "I'm a PC" ad's show that like their users, theres a wide variety of PC's of all shapes, sizes, and flavors, and can't be summed as a single image.

weird... all they've showed me is PCs are all the same substance with different appearances...

Vs. Macs being the same substance with the same appearance, but a higher price? FYI: a Mac is a PC (personal Computer), obviously both OSes run on the same (basic) platform . . . .
I personally work on and support both PC and Mac at work and at home. All of this is subjective, though, for those who like what better and why. Macs have a unique set of their own problems (especially on a network in Active Directory, or even on a network but on different sub-nets), trust me it's a devil of a lot easier to trouble-shoot a Windows PC than it is a Mac in that type of environment.
As for home: I Custom-Built my own PC, but yet I can also run OS X on it. Let me tell you, I made the finest Windows based PC (Priority) and also a better Mac (read: OSx86) than I would have otherwise been able to do so by buying one or the other out-right. To date, I've yet to see a Mac (Genuine) match the raw power I have using OS X on my PC, even come close to comparing in price range (Money well-spent, and I can seriously say it looks just as nice if not better).
That being said, there are always two sides to every story, let's just all get along without needing to take pop shots when there isn't a need to . . . .
