The "mac is limited" argument just doesn't hold water. Especially with OSX. Name me a *task* that cannot be done on a Mac. I don't care about the sheer number of titles...most of that software is crap anyway. What is important is what you can accomplish, and how difficult it is to do it. This imho is where Macs excel (spreadsheet pun intended).
My SBO just commented about how he never could get his mp3 player to work, and it sits in a drawer. I don't hear anyone saying that about their iPod. And it does windoze too.
No OS or hardware is perfect...but there are real differences. If having 100K different versions of a game or sticky note app is important to you, then by all means, go windoze. If you need to spend the least amount of money possible, then linux or windoze and cheap hardware is the way to go. But if your time is valuable, I think the Mac evens things out.
And I had an interesting conversation with the head of Sony digital music today. You know, they make computers that run windoze...good ones too. What do all of his creative departments use? Macs. Hmmm...
