Most of these PC vs Mac wars have been about Windows vs MacOSX.
Thats because PC traditionally meant IBM PC which used DOS/Windows as its official OS.

And later, PC meant x86 architecture while Mac meant PowerPC architecture, but seeing that PPC is gone, the comparison is again fruitless. Besides, today many prefer x86_64 computing.

So I don't think its right to include linux into PC vs Mac wars. Linux has the pride of not being hardware boud.
