If you are trying to prove a point, you're sucking at it. Try finding something that doesn't have an equivilant. 
Given my circumstances, I would
never, ever, EVER switch to Macintosh. While there may be a Macintosh equivalent to most windows programs, they are generally inferior in performance (and usually stability too). It's near impossible to upgrade a mac compared to a PC. I don't think I would be able to stand running an apple computer. I'd probably drive myself insane; especially since I already know how to use the PC and Windows pretty damned well. Re-learning anything like that would be a colossal pain in the ass.
Well, I like to compare the price of Mac's office and Mac's development kit ($0) to Windows' (>$1000 each).. that's a good way to make a decision right there. Any company that expects me to pay over $2000 to be productive, PLUS the computer and OS, sucks.
At this moment in time, I'm a web developer. The development software I use is the same price accross the board, so there's no real use comparing that. If I ever chose to make another significant project, I'd do it in C++ on Linux.
You've got to realize I'm not arguing that "Macs suck." I'm arguing that I would outright
hate to use a Mac as a primary workstation. Here's a reitteration of my initial argument to provide some proof:
That's total bull. Don't get me started on Windows vs. Mac. Mac is a vastly superior OS to Windows, although that isn't very hard.
Linux > Mac > Windows, for me. Though I'd switch the first two for a lot of people.
I couldn't survive on Mac, plain and simple. It may be more secure and slightly more stable, but the incompatibility would impale me in the face with a sharpened tether ball pole.
If you can find me a Mac computer that runs the same price as my PC (~$3000, including two 19" LCD monitors - Samsung/Viewsonic) that will run WoW and all the other things I primarily use my comptuer for as well as my PC, I'll stop complaining.
