Don't forget that with the new chips Apple is using you can run Windows and pretty much everything Windows program you might need on a PC -NATIVELY- on a Mac. The last I read the side by side comparisons of running Windows on a new Mac vs on a PC showed there was little performance difference and there were even some things Macs did better within Windows. Essentially a draw though. Really high end PC games suffer because of lack of graphics card support. I'm sure it won't belong before those issues are resolved.
