I've been using Death2Spam for about 4-5 months now and get almost no FPs.
As far as scanning [SPAM] for "just in case" FPs, I have my client route those messages to a SPAM folder that I look at every couple days. All I do is glance at the subject line first and hit DELETE if it's an obvious spam. If not, I look at the sender and hit DELETE if I don't recognize the sender name. I think I average about one second per message...at ~30 messages per day I'm OK. Should that rise to 300 messages per day I would have to consider alternatives, as we all would.
I own an iPod mini for use at work and may buy a second one owing to hours worked and battery life. But no way will I buy a Mac! Wy wife has owned at least 2 Macs for her standard office use. She's managed to break them both shortly after the warranties expired. Getting them fixed has been chancy at best, impossible at worst and always expensive in time and money.
It's all marketing hype (an Apple strength) and fashionably vocal zealots (not many cheerleaders for M$). If Apple profits from the halo effect, good for them...but include me OUT.
