This discussion by Daniel Eran is worth reading.
Full disclosure - I used an Apple II in the early 1980s, (as a portable would you believe - I schlepped it on planes in a large plywood box), an Apple III in 1982/83, Macs all the way to 1990 -- and hated them all.
I now own Apple stock, my wife's machine is an iMAC bought by me, and my next system (pun intended) will most likely be an Intel based MAC. The performance of the MAC was shackled by its poor price/performance before it switched to Intel chips, and the OS sucked before they moved to the Mach kernel/neXt based based, 64 bit Operating System. Now that I can use Parallels to run my old apps, I am switching - as soon as the next Mac Pro is available.
