Lots of good comments on the post this morning (read here). Some die-hard Apple/Mac users and some "have to have my PC" discussion. Overall, pro-Apple definitely outweighs the pro-PC users.
The email I received from Garrick at the Work Better Blog summed up his thoughts as:
I'd choose a Mac every time. For 3 primary reasons:1. The OS gets out of my way when I'm working. I've always felt I was getting stuff done despite Windows, not because of. Things always feel they go much more smoothly on the Powerbook.2. Apple's styling elicits a much stronger reaction from people I encounter (clients, colleagues). Shiny powerbooks seem to be catch the eye more than black ThinkPads.3. 99% of everything moves between platforms seamlessly. There's a rare application that I have to open VirtualPC for (I think Visio is the only one). A friend of mine needs Outlook and the OS X port isn't the same. On the other hand, I've always had problems with Outlook (especially on the PC) and have been quite happy with the standard Mail and iCal applications,
To me, all other things being equal, I'm more productive on Macs. I venture to bet after adjusting keyboard shortcuts, you will be also.
