"Compare Windows Vista Ultimate $399 with Mac mini $599. Mac mini has all the same OS features and INCLUDES THE HARDWARE. It's very hard to promote Windows as some kind of cheap option that you make do with because you can't afford a Mac."
For the average person it is still more affordable to buy a Windows based pc than a Mac. Yes, the Mac mini is affordable, but I can get a more powerful machine for the same money (or less if you are a good deal shopper) that runs Windows. I am talking value, not just the amount of money spent.
I still would pick a Mac if I was in a creative field, but you are exagerating about how bad the pc is with regard to tools that work well. Maybe not as well (not nearly in some cases), but not the IMPOSSIBLE task you describe.
I have always, and always will, say that you use the right tool for the right job. I applaud both Windows and Mac for being good in their particular niche. They just aren't both for everybody.
