Having to memorize tons of stupid little symbols instead of just being able to read text does not equal better in my book. It just insures that I will never take the time to learn to use one.
I have never run antivirus or spybot software on any of my osx machines. Period.

I don't understand your stupid little symbols comment.

As far as app, yes there are some windows only apps. The new arcitechture makes that pretty much a non-issue, and still if you go into most creative industries (I did not say that no one in corporate was creative), you will see mostly Macs. In my current shop we have a lot of PCs, but only because we do a lot of game development and the deployment (for mostly gov agencies) is on PC. Sitting around a meeting you'll see mostly powerbooks.

Nothing is perfect, but if you live and work in the creative world, Macs are more of a natural fit.
