Both operating systems have there strengths and weaknesses. I will say one thing though, I was a Windows user all the way a few years back, and was very skeptical of macs. Then when I ended up using them for my digital design class in school, I must say I was impressed, even to the point I would actually consider buying one some day. Very stylish, stable, and very nice to use. Great for applications like Photoshop, Dreamweaver, etc. (anything you use for designing) - though not so good for games and such, though OS X does have a few high-profile titles available for it. I would recommend OS X to anyone who has interests in design - no matter what level you are - and likes a nice looking and easy to use OS. Other than that, stick with Windows.
