Deathbringer, I went to Wollongong Uni a number of years ago and if your Uni is anything like it (probably worse considering budget cuts since) the problem is not Mac or PC specifically but how they're set up, how the entire networks are set up, and also intranet/internet and bandwidth issues - particularly as they are probably "always connected". (always meant to be!)
I used to find that the Macs faired a lot worse from the abuse students could dish out upon both types and Uni tech support is notoriously sloppy. Unless you get solid techs you're never going to win with Uni computers - Mac or PC.
Must agree with you and Wolfgir about the design industry too. A close relative was Creative Director of ACP (Australia's largest magazine publishers) and they have tried everything and stick with PCs.
It's just part of the design that you know that the screens and printers in the office aren't showing what the printed product will look like. - It's like recording a song knowing that it will be mastered later.
