Macs are pretty nice - I never had any of the computer problems that I hear people around me talking about who have PC machines. But there are really no games for Macintosh.

I like how you place the "smarter" with Mac users. It's all about what your needs are and which system best fulfills those needs. Thinking one OS makes you smarter has in fact placed you into the "dumb" category in my opinion. If you have $900 to spend trying to make a gaming machine, it would be smarter to go with a Windows computer. If you're looking for ease of mind, deal primarily with multimedia, and don't mind spending a bit more, Mac would be a better choice. If you like building your own machines and upgrading various parts yourself, a Windows machine would be better.
You can't just claim that one is superior to the other for every user. That's just plain dumb. What's funny is that most of these comments I see on various websites about users of a certain operating system being cooler or smarter... come from Mac users. Most of them are probably spoiled kids that got a pretty new computer from mommy.
Computers are tools when it comes down to it. You should choose your tools based on what tasks need to be carried out.

that doesnt make sense. Windows is so popularly used, all kinds of people use windows. On the other hand people who buy macs are probably the kind of ppl that require other's approval, so they buy overpriced laptops to somehow impress their friends
Edit:
the only reason windows has more viruses is because it has more users (more targets). put it this way, your hunting for your life, you have one gun, one bullet. Would you shoot at 1 deer in a forest, or an entire herd of deer
