Which is exactly why I have both platforms. I run a mac for when I want a computer that I know will work 24/7 and I can use and enjoy. I run XP for when I need to do something that the mac can't do. It's fairly simple. I don't understand the zealots on either side.
Right, as for cost:
The way I see it is that my mac has 100% uptime. Fine, I paid a hell of a lot for it, but it's there whenever I need it. Say a PC goes down for a few hours, I think that most people would be happier paying $20 or so instead of having that downtime and extra workload... It's a more drastic situation in the workplace, what with people depending on their computer and having to pay tech support staff.
