How Apple+Mac is better than Windows+Intel
Pantso:
I've said it more than once and I will keep saying it: I don't care if Intel's processors are, for the time being, faster than PPC processors. I really don't give a s**t if they are or not! All I know is that I can do my work faster and more efficiently in my cramped up iBook, than I could with my spacious HP Omnibook. Furthermore, NOTHING CRASHES in OS X. I have yet to see a application crash, let alone the Operating System itself! So, judging by these criteria, all I can say is that all those G(M)Hz zealots can suck my balls for all I care (that does of course apply to Windows users and not Linux ones)
:D

You != Everyone. Your needs do not reflect a lot of media professionals that I know personally who need fast machines. This isn't about Ghz, it's about performance. Right now, bang-for-buck, Dual 1.25 Ghz machines are not gonna cut it for a lot of people.
Also, OS X has crashed on my a few times. This is 10.1.5, so I cannot speak for Jaguar*. It isn't bulletproof, but it is quite stable.
*Which, if according to Apple's new K-12 offer (Jag == free for teachers), will arrive at my friend's (a teacher) school in a week or so... and then it will make a permanent home on my TiBook... ;) :D

Me=!Me :D
As I most clearly wrote in my post, I am talking about myself, hence those opinions above reflect my own. Now, I'm not a media professional or anything of the sort, so I wouldn't know how media professionals feel about Apple computers. However I happen to know a lot of graphic artists, web designers etc who would use nothing else but their Mac. ;)

That 'You != Everyone' comment was just playful jabbing.
It's too bad for Apple though, they have brand loyalty from long-time customers, but aren't doing much of anything to woo in 'the new breed' of designers I see in college classes...
