Try any of these on your Windows PC out of the box.
1. Load up a terminal and have access to bash and the ability to run ssh terminal sessions with full VT100 compatibility.
2. Run PHP from the command line
3. Compile and run tools like ImageMagick.
To be able to do any of these things with Windows you need to add clunky add ons which may or may not work. Take heaps of time to get going and often lead to headaches. Whereas with a new Mac, I can do these things in the first two minutes of powering it up.
I laugh at people who think Windows is better, it's not.

None of those are even remotely in the ballpark of what the "average user" would need to do. EVER.
There was a time on this board that only Quiet and I were the only ones plugging away on our old colorful iMacs while everyone else laughed. So don't get my wrong, I was an Apple diehard, still am to an extent. I have just never gotten the blind devotion of most of their users. Most of what they say makes no sense or is applicable to any other Operating System.
