Hmmm... Maybe because it's UNIX Based. My University (which doesn't really use Mac's at all...) programming courses use UNIX to program on, therefore unlike Windows which isn't UNIX based I can access the UNIX servers straight away from my Mac without additional software.
Oh and for the I've can program more languages, I can program C, Obj C, C++, Java and Applescript, out the box on my Mac.
On the Physics/Stats side Matlab, SPSS and Mathematica all have Mac versions too.
On the Maths side I can also write Mathematical equation straight into Pages in LaTeX, OS X also comes with an excellent graphing program, which produces more accurate graphs than Matlab.
With any new Mac, I can run multiple OS's too, more so than a PC can, OS X, Vista, XP and <insert name of Linux Distribution here>. I can even install most UNIX/Linux software with Fink in OS X itself.
I'll grant you that Pinnacle Studio Plus looks quite good from the specs page, the price isn't bad either, however looking at the reviews on
Amazon.co.uk clearly shows it to be a joke 1.5 stars

. (
iLife btw gets 5 stars)
Oh and on your PC can you sync your calendar/contacts with your Mobile phone with one click? And can you send text's through your phone either?
BTW What Music software do you use, iTunes?
