Why do you like Mac and OS X instead of PCs and Windows?

Name one reason.

Mine would be the user interface, i find its much easier to use than Windows. The things that i need to do are usually easily found in menus etc
 
They just work. No need to struggle with millions of problems like in Windows. Plug the cord, press the power button, enjoy!
 
Because it's wife proof!

Don't think I need to explain that!

yep thats it. i will give u an example. if i have to connect to a network printer on my pc laptops i have to go through advanced settings just because one is running xp and one is running vista. on mac, all i had to do was connect through the printer utility and log in to that vista pc. i love my mac because of its ease of use
 
Because you always remeber your first love. Been with Apple since I wrote programs for Apple ][. Had Apples since. I work with Windows in the workspace, but I feel is is a tool I have to fight. Macs are like musical instruments - you operate them by feel...it's intuitive. Are they perfect - no. But they are better.

OBTW - got my first smartphone on the lauch day of iPhone 3GS. Has changed my life!
 
Considering I work in the scientific research field rather than the creative fields that seem common on Macrumors, I'll have to say POSIX-compliant UNIX at the command-line. No more using Windows for a mostly usable desktop GUI and a large application library and Linux for coding and good automation command-line tools (although Ubuntu Linux has begun bridging the desktop GUI issue). With OS X I can just use the desktop most of the time, but open an iTerm and build a quick C or even PERL program to manipulate some data file and set up a CRON job to run it when needed.

Second choice is that Macs are what we are given to use at work, so I wanted to have one at home, too. (Hey, if Windows users can use that excuse, so can I!)
 
More intuitive UI, nicer design, good battery life (my 4-year old iBook still gets over 3 hours on its original battery), good customer service.
