It's hard to explain why, but all the small things, like compatibility with FrontRow, integration into many Dashboard applications come together to make the experience better.
Could just be placebo, if you get where I'm coming from, but I do prefer iTunes on Mac over PC.

Service charge to fix a Mac Book is just under £300, I didn't even ask the price of replacement parts! I know that it is more hardware related but its something you should consider. Fixing a Mac is expensive since Apple do it themselves. OSX and Windows now have become similar, programs-wise as well so you would not lose out on functionality if you go for Mac for your normal everyday stuff like music, internet, word processing etc.
With Windows, it is easier to do dodgy stuff i.e. torrents and 'free' software etc. I prefer Windows because I can play around more, many more customisations and for me its more powerful. I'm a scientist by profession so Windows is great for bioinformatics, genetics, protein simulation and modelling since there is so much support. My brother is an engineer so he can't live without Windows to run his stuff.
Its true that Vista sucks because it is slow but Windows 7 is a big improvement. It would be better to compare that to OSX since it will be out soon. I'm Windows all the way and will be going for Windows Mobile as well because they complement each other so well. No doubt that Apple stuff is cooler but it really depends on what you use your computer for, if you are a power user than go for Windows.

Cheers for that. Very good insight to what i would expect with a Mac. I am unsure what i may do for now. When is Windows 7 coming out? Will it have less bugs than Vista did when it was launched?

If you buy your Mac brand new, you can get AppleCare, 3 years collection/delivery warranty. About £200 for laptops, £120 for desktops (cannot recall actual pricing). All parts and labour included.

Thats sounds good. Think all manufacturers should be like that
But as in an Apple pc operating system does any of it operate in a similar way to Windows or is it completely different?
