What you described after the dashboard isn't exactly mac-exclusive. You see, Windows XP has this thing called a task bar that does exactly that. 
Are there any benchmarks that you can show me that prove your performance claims? |
Dashboard is very similar to Google Gadgets / Yahoo Widgets. It is just integrated a little bit better. Official description, screenshots, and animations at
Apple - Mac OS X - Dashboard.

I use a Mac at home and a PC at work. I've used Apple products since the Apple ][+, and run the PC network (but, amateur level) at work.
I like that Macs "just work", as long as you agree with the One True Way that Apple engineers have decided that the applications should work. A prime example is iTunes. It will reorganize how the files are stored on your hard drive, and you have to have the ID3 tags correct in order to do most things. Then, you can take advantage of the nifty browsing features and smart playlists, and there's a lot of power there.
If you prefer to get down and dirty with configurations and such to tweak things to exactly match your perception of the One True Way, you will be better served by a PC.
