Hmmmm......

My company, and indeed I, are pretty much Microsoft whores up here in Seattle. I am not a big fan of Apple. But my concerns are mostly about running 'line of business' software and such. The term 'Enterprise data indexing' gets me hot and bothered.

But if your primary concern is a system that make sharing photos and video with family easy, then Apple kicks the snot out of MS. End of story. Walk up with a video camera, plug in via Firewire, 30 minutes later you have a nice DVD to share with family. The same operation on a PC would be HOURS (as in many), and $150 (minimum) worth of software.

EDIT: DO keep in mind that you are entering Apples little, mostly proprietary universe. Your options on hardware and software a limited when compared to the PC world. And DO NOT believe the BS about Apples being more reliable. Its baloney. A computer is computer. The stickers on the case don't mean much. They all end up in land fill in the end.
