I have a trojan horse in my house now... I have a dual quad core Mac Pro shiny steel tower sitting near me. It's strictly being used for Final Cut Pro only.
I started on an Apple][+, DOS 3.3 with a tape drive and disk drive. When the Mac first came out in 1984 MSRP $2495 and I knew my father wasn't going to pony up another round of monies to get one. (It wasn't foreseen that you'd upgrade your machine every couple of years) so when an IBM XT came out at a much cheaper price, that's the direction I went.
If MS creates an environment wherein I'm not able to do what I need to do with the freedom I'm required to do it, the Apple may be an easy choice for me to make.
