As a Mac user, I found this pretty funny because it's partially true - at least before the transition to Intel.

Mac vs. PC (PIC)

At least PC's have decent graphics!

I'd choose PC any day of the week, there would be no hesitation in my decision.

This is just hilarious. Who would buy a computer of any kind from apple when you can get a 2x~3x faster PC about the same price?
Maybe it is because BASH is absurdly superior to DOS? Or maybe it is Because the BSD kernel is better than the Windows kernel? But then again, Apple didn't even write it and you can install BSD on a PC for free....

I would love a PC any day over a MAC
Your avatar kind of gives that away.

You saved yourself there... Mac vs. PC, not Mac vs. Windows PC. Linux and Unix are valid flavors of the PC. What happens if you compare a Unix PC vs a Mac? You have pretty much the same software, but better hardware on the PC right?

Basically.... The only advantage I would see the MAC having is that it is the only OS that has a dock which is not buggy. Although, Avant-Window-Navigator as came a long way, it still has many issue. Don't even want to talk about the dock options for Windows....

Actually, DOS went away with Windows ME (not that the average user ever uses command shells...) and Mac OS X is based on XNU, which is part Mach and part BSD.This is just hilarious. Who would buy a computer of any kind from apple when you can get a 2x~3x faster PC about the same price?

Sometimes I just want to call Apple and remind them... a Mac is a personal computer (PC)!

The Windows CLI is heavily DOS based. When you open up cmd.exe, it is more or less a basic DOS shell. They are currently trying to replace DOS with their new Windows Power Shell.
I was unaware that Apple wrote their own kernel for MAC OS X. I had the understanding that it was a copy and paste of the BSD kernel.
I live by CLI. Suppose I am not the average user.

If cmd.exe is an upgrade to command.com then I would consider that to be "more or less" the same thing... Maybe not the EXACT same thing, but that is why you use phrases like "more or less"...

cmd.exe seems to be the same as the terminals that are emulated in Linux or in MAC. It is not an "official" BASH shell either but a emulation: xterm. Does not seem to be the case in the Gnome Desktop environment, however: Gnome Terminal.
