PC update or switch to Mac?

Hi all!

I'm mostly an avid user, but I just fell in love with Adobe CS5.5 after using the trial.  My question is the good ' ol question.  Mac or PC?  Now, I have an AMD setup right now.  But I wonder if I should sell and opt for a new generation with an i7 or simply upgrade to a Mac?

I know that the industry began to use Final Cut Pro and first, but I found that the first CS5.5 allows users to import XML files (which are CPF files, I think).  How to Import FCP files in first if I use a PC or not?

If not, should I just upgrade to a Mac (I'm thinking iMac or a Macbook Pro) or simply update my PC?

I would like to use Photoshop Adobe AE, Premiere Pro CS5.5, for now.  I buy a Mac for Music Production, but I wanted to know for video and photo if a better Mac is the way to go.

I was PC my life and started using Macs in 1990 - something. In 2009, I built a Mac Pro specifically to make a film with the CS3 version. Today, I again that Mac Pro, updated the firmware for 2010 and exchanged in a Hex CPU core, 32GB RAM 1333, card RAID Areca and all sorts of things. I still love it, but the PC is currently better. OS X (Snow Leopard) is nice and all, but it is still just a tool and Win7 is great, too.

FCP X. Bought it, fought with him, still don't know if I'll ever use it on paid employment.

CS5. I love. I personally have no problem (even on a Mac) with the ATI 5870 mercury running in mode 'software only '. I have a nVidia GTX285 for Mac, but I didn't like the performance and switched back to 5870. Can't wait to see what brings the CS6... SpeedGrade? OpenCL GPU acceleration? Mmmm... and with the new maps 7900 series ATI out... who knows!

I think that if you are a PC, be grateful and use it to your advantage. These are days PC, mang! Mac may have been King in 2008-9, but PC exceeded their. Save Apple for your gadget needs.
