John,
Been using Mac here as laptop solution for 5 years now using Fusion FX
(Basically VMWare Workstation) and never had any problems. The Fusion runs much
quicker on the Macbook Pro (3 years old I7 with 16Gb) than native on my other
laptop (Dell) and security/rollback is a cinch as I have automatic snapshots in
Fusion for exactly the reason(s) you stated. I would never go back to a native
windows laptop again apart from the SurfacePro which I find excellent for
graphical work which Fusion FX isn't particularly strong on due to video card
emulation which is not top end graphics.
As for MacOSX it is simple and very intuitive and now I miss many of the
touchpad swipe options available on the Mac when I occasionally move back to
the Windows laptop. - hence buying a Logitech T650 touchpad which is almost as
good as but not quite there!
If you want to dabble in Linux/Unix/Xenix then the Mac is a really stable tool
to learn on even though you really don't have to be proficient in command line
antics if you don't want.
In my experience, the only thing missing on the Macbook is a touch screen or
stylus which will hopefully be remedied by the time I come to upgrade.

Never having been taught Unix I find Linux confusing. There are so many
distros, all different and all changing faster than the books can keep up with
them whereas the Mac is stable, well relatively.

Why Mac? I use Linux and WinXP in VirtualBox without any troubles for years.
