Exactly. So, basically it comes down to now what do you like more. Do you find the Mac OS X interface or Windows XP better? Personally, Mac OS X wins hands down.

Now, if they would get Finale, and other music software Universal Binary so they run better on Intel chips.........

Without fanning the flames of a potential flamewar, I think it's worth mentioning that now that Macs are using Intel Core processors, direct harware comparisons between Apple hardware and, e.g., Dell are now very possible. And the premium one pays for running OS X is not nearly as much as everyone seems to assume. If you match the hardware feature-for-feature, Macs are actually competitive with similar WinTel hardware.

The real difference is that Dell etc. offer ultra-low-end machines, and Apple does not -- the new Mac mini, base config, is $599 -- which is, admittedly, more than a bottom-line Dell. But it's not *significantly* more than a similarly-configured Intel Core Solo Dell, once you factor in all the "standard" features of the MacIntel mini (Wireless G, Bluetooth 2.0, gigabit ethernet, etc).
