Please, its one or the other anymore. With apple you are paying for the brand and their "chosen" hardware, which incidentally is openly available PC hardware now. They truthfully lost their advantage in the photo/video editing world with the retiring of the RISC processor. Now windows and osx both are just front ends to the same x86 instruction set.

I do however find it humorous that apple finally gave up on their own kernel/underlying system and moved to a BSD based system. So for me at this point, OS X is not much more than a glorified window manager like KDE, GNOME, or Enlightenment (is that still even around LOL). Hell a majority of legacy Mac apps have to run in emulation. I would much prefer to pick my own hardware - and pay 1/3 the price of an Apple store PC, then throw OS X on it if i wished. But then again, i think ill just stick with Ubuntu and Centos and run win and osx in emulation windows as needed like i have for years.
