The downside to Mac is two fold: 1) these things are expensive, and 2) Macs have limited software. I know that Mac is in dealings with several game developers right now (either to create a console or to develope and expand the Mac game community). Also, the Mac Mini is fairly competitively priced. I'll try to send over some stuff when I get home to my Mac.

I wouldn't generalize about Windows being technologically behind MacOS. I remember seeing WindowsNT around 1994, which was leaps and bounds beyond MacOS until version 10 premiered sometime around 2001. Even then, it was not usable until it matured a little. My company dropped Mac support for my product, so I never saw this "maturation" but I would guess this to be around 2002 or so...
