I would say it also depends on your teacher and/or your support network. People very rarely just buy a PC without some need or reason. When they do they ask their friends what they should get. That's good: it's those friends that will get them over the rough spots. So, if your buddy's got a Mac you'll find a Mac easier; if your buddy's got a Windows box you'll probably find that easier. For the true solo person tho' - I have to agree with Nick: the out-of-the-box experience may indeed be slightly better with a Mac but I don't see it as being a major difference. From a usability standpoint it really is a wash these days. The real problem is, unfortunately, still the same as it always has been. PCs (whether Mac or Windows) are scary things. PCs, especially by newbies, are seen as difficult. They do so many things. They're only for smart people. They often don't fit into prior experience (that keyboard is NOT a typewriter, that foot-pedal is actually a mouse). Add to this the fact that a PC is often one of the most expensive single purchases people make and you've added fear of breaking it as well. It's traumatic!
