I was a windows user that recently switched to a Mac and I have to say that I would NEVER think of going back. Mainly, profession would prevent it (Theatrical Designer). Simply put, a lot of sound editing applications DO NOT run on windows. Lighting Design Industry Standards, don't even look. The ones that do run on a windows machine (I have tried damn near all of them) are quite frankly inferior. There are one or two that will get you to near the same level of effectiveness as their mac counterparts, but the price and resource usage are just mind-boggling.
To answer the speed debate, yes, the macs have lower numbers, but Mhz and Ghz are subjective numbers in themselves. My 1.25 Powerbook runs much faster than my 1.8 p4 ever did. Yes information is infact moving slower, but the pipeline is bigger. It is roughly akin to comparing a garden hose and a fire hose. More info to the destination at any one time.
