Speaking of hardware the new Macs are great but they are also very, very expensive. That's why some people don't like Apple.

Speaking of software now the new Intel Macs can run any software for Windows natively via Bootcamp so that pretty much renders the matter of comparing OS X to WIndows academic. When you buy a new Intel mac you can work with both mac OS X and WIndows. I'm actually tripple-booting between oS X , XP and Vista on my imac 24 nowadays.
