If you edit video, take lots of digital photos, or create music, Mac. No question.

If you only consume media, it depends on what your sources are.

The iApps (iMovie, iPhoto, iTunes, iDVD) along with GarageBand have no peer in the PC world. Maybe on an individual basis (ie there are some good web development apps and mp3 catalog applications), but nothing can match iMovie wrt editing video, and the seamless integration of the iApps is quite stunning. I can edit a video, pull in a song from my iTunes library, add some photos from my iPhoto library, then create a DVD.

Thanks! We saw the iMovie demonstration in the store today and it looked unbelievably simple. We do take tons of digital photos as well as videos, and would like to be able to manipulate and edit them.
