I have to disagree with butler blue about running OS in parallel, because my friends are doing it without any problems. Also I have been dual booting Linux and Windows (on many PCs) for three years without crashing and burning repeatedly.
The whole PC VS MAC issue, in my opinion, is really a windows vs OSX issue. Here is MY pro and con list for both PC/apple and Windows/OSX
PC/windows pro: most flexible in terms of software, familiarity with the OS since everyone uses windows, usually cheaper in price than apples
PC/windows cons: viruses and vulnerabilities IF you do not really know what you're doing, (subjective pts to follow) unstable for long periods of time, eats up hard drive space, installs programs without telling me, pay lots of money for software
apple/osx pro: stable operating system for the most part, stylish, helpful community, nice features like expose and spotlight.
apple/osx con: unfamiliarity with the OS, does not support a lot of software that you would normally use in windows, pricey.
with all that said, i will most likely buy a macbook pro =D mostly because i can run windows, debian linux, and OSX. I would recommend the intel-based macs: stylish, durable (as far as i can tell), and well-designed.
