Apples campaign to inform PC users about Windows capabilities on the
Macintosh for the past several years must be pretty much a failure then.
I run XP on my iMac under Parallels, which allows you to have both OSs
running at the same time, and copy and paste or move files back and
forth between them. There are others that allow the same
functionality, and others that mean you have to reboot to change OSs.
If you feel the need to have a Netbook as well, you might want to wait
until early next year, when Apple will have a tablet form Netbook,
like a large iTouch/iPhone with a 12~14 inch screen (16-9). Of course,
that is only an informed rumor, as Apple never announces new products
beforehand.
Once you go Mac, you'll never go back...

Or just a Mac, I can't think of anything, besides games,
which is not
available for the Mac.

There's loads of stuff. I work in IT and the main product we develop
uses
the MS toolkit. I'm not interested in the hassle of finding non-MS
clones
for this stuff, and I'm not about to pay for it again when I already
have
it.
There are also a few other non-MS development tools I use regularly
which
are not available on Macs
