bottom line - until os x or linux gets the software compatibility of windows, i'll stick with the later



I'm still waiting for iLife, Keynote, Final Cut Pro... on Windows.

Software is not an issue on the Macintosh. While OS X does not have by far the same quantity of software available for it as Windows, the best programmes are usually available (and quite often are a Macintosh exclusive).
Truth is, the only area in which the Macintosh is lacking in the software department is games. And for that, there are game consoles (not to mention that gamers and Porsche drivers don't quite belong to the same demographics).

To be honest, the stability of Windows has been alright since Win 2000, and the user-friendliness has also improved with Win XP.
And yeah, you can use iTunes on Windows, too.

Still, you'll have to pry my 12" Powerbook from my dead, cold fingers...
Seriously, if you don't need a very specific programme that is Windows-exclusive, you have to try out a Mac. You will be blown away. Just like when you bought your first Porsche.
