I own a PowerBook 64 (15") which i use for all my business activities, that is; email, calendar, web-browsing, address book, web development(Xcode), web design (dreamweaver), communication(iChat) and music (iTunes).
I run all these programs at once, hidden in the dock with little or no loss of speed - AND unlike my windows system, leaving all these open for days on end doesn't cause the system to leak memory and continually get slower.
Not only this - but my other account, which i use for personal stuff doesn't get logged-out and i often leave my IRC client and MSN messenger running there. This is on a box with 1.5ghz of processing speed - do this on a PC with equiviliant stats and lets see how long it is until it crashes. Either way, it is NOT like wading through swamp. Complete horse-shit.
Whether or not it will is not my point - my point is that Macs out-perform PC with comparable specs, lending more weight to the argument that you really get what you pay for with a mac - don't bother comparing the prices based on pure numbers - try one out for god sakes and see it for yourself.
I actually prefer linux two either of the two main OSs - however the ignorance of that comment had to be addressed.
