buying a mac nowadays merely shows you are susceptible to marketing and hype
I agree that the programme usage between the two these days are very close, but there is a reason that Macs are still the computer of perference when it comes to, for example, intense graphic design, or music based purposes (such as recording, pro tools, studio work etc) The OS is far more stable, the system as a whole is far more stable and less tempramental than PC's are, and they rarely crash or refuse to work like Windows machines do
And I wouldn't buy one for the marketing or hype, I'd buy one as I find them a pleasure the use. It's all very intuative, whilst being somewhat different, and totally geared up to just being a tool that works for what you want it to do, rather than often finding that what you are trying to execute on a PC becomes more of a chore
