I have a PC and generally love it. I'm a graphic artist though and as a graphic artist I've been made to use MACs on several occasions.
While all and all I didn't like the 'mighty mouse' for the MAC, I did really love one feature. It's 'scroll ball' instead of a scroll wheel which lets you move in 360 degrees. This thing was absolutely great for 3d applications. Plus it was so sensitive which was doubly awsome. If you've used this you know it's difrent from a track ball since you can use 2 seperate scrolling planes at the same time, working in the X-Y pane and the Z plane and such.
Are there any PC mice made with a little scroll ball to handle the other axis for things like the mighty mouse does? Are there even any scroll wheels that have high sensitivity? I just got a 'gaming' mouse that claimed to have high sensitivity, which it does but it still had the same trouble so many scroll wheels do of scrolling in 'chunks' which is fine to look at webpages paragraph by paragraph but the functions I use in 3d programs are not very useful in 'chunks' of scrolling with these wheels.
