there is an aspect that is wrong in all these kind of argument... mac is a piece of hardware, pc is a piece of hardware, MS is software. So if we want to make comparison we should compare osx to windows and about this comparison I can only tell you that the latest osx version runs on old machines without problems, no crash, no rebootings, no kernel panic of any sort. Why? just cos osx is made for the harware apple produce. Windows is builded to work on any pc and obviously it simply fails like osx would fail if it was built for any pc.
what about hardware? well maybe mac are overpriced but you just don't pay for hardware but for software and its integration too. I don't bother the kind of advertisement made by apple, I just want something that works well and I couldn't find a single pc with windows that can browse internet without any risks and gives me the possibility to record without crashing problems. Something more... I like motu and digital performer... so I can't simply use a pc. If I'd have to use autocad I'll be a pc guy... simply I chose what I need more and what is perfect for my needs.
