But when it comes to manouverability as in quickly changing system settings easily: PC's.

I strongly disagree on your second point. There's a button in your dock that takes you straight to the system settings window, where you can select virtually any setting you want and change it. I tried to find the system settings on a PC running XP, and I had to go on a wild goose chase to find settings and specs.

Wrong. Windows has far more security holes that need to be blocked with antivirus software. Read up on it.

I believe the worst Mac virus came recently. It was through iChat, and you had to accept, download, and open a file to make it infect your computer

Both OS's are great, I was at the Apple store today, I was in there for an hour with my friends. They're just too hard to get used to IMO, I've grown up on a PC. PC's are good, they're more expandible, I love the customisation aspects of a PC, I just haven't explored a Mac well enough to know its pros and cons.

PC's do more than Mac's, it's a fact, but Mac's can always at least do something better.

Thanks for Proving My Point ^_^
And They both have their Pros and cons, they are both better at different things.

Absolutely not true. I've owned Macs all my life, from the Classic II all the way up to the iMac G5, and I've had no trouble of the sort with any of them.

I agree completely.
