Got to have my Visual Studio and SQL Server, and my games 
|
|
|

You'd get that on XP, why trust Vista? It's shite.

This is not suppose to be a debate on Vista vs XP, but I'll add some more reasons
IIS7 (which has additional features I may need to use in an upcoming project)
Bit Locker (protects my valuable source code if my laptop was ever stollen)
Start Menu Search (WinKey + 'sql ser' + Enter = quick access to my applications such as Sql Sever Management Studio)
Various other reason including Sidebar gadgets, looks nicer, built in Media Center, supports HD-DVD + BluRay (which I do use).

I would use one if someone gave me an Apple computer. However, I would not go out and buy one.

Why not?

Value for money. I don't perceive that a Mac is as good value as a PC. Sure it looks nice, but I can get the same power cheaper from other vendors. It is the same reason I won't buy a Sony Vaio - Looks nice, but underpowered for the price.

OK. I take quality as an important factor too, not just features and power.

I don't see how it is any higher quality. From my experience all the PCs I've ever owned lasted longer than their usefulness - I still have perfectly usable laptops and desktop PCs going back at least 7 years.
Anything higher quality than that is a bit of a waste of money.

Quality isn't just longevity but that good feeling engendered by use of well made kit. Macs are screwed together in not only an aesthetically more pleasing manner but also a tactile manner. They reassure the user which to me counts for a lot.
It is the same reason a Leica can sell for $4000 when it actually does less than a $800 DSLR. How the tools we use are made is important.
If that isn't important to you then no worries, buy the plastic Dell

Same here It is nice, but if you are patient enough you can get a brand new 64-bit Acer or Gateway with Vista for under $300.00 Apple can't beat that.

For me, it's not having .NET. If somehow OSX ran .net, I would probably switch, but I haven't heard that hell froze yet, so until then I guess I'll be using Dells

Hell has frozen over:
You can run .NET on OSX (PowerPC and Intel) using Mono. Ready to switch? LoL!

Mono != .NET
If you don't trust me, run MoMA[^] on any real-life .NET application

Never had any reason to run .NET on the Mac OS myself. Apple has it's own set of development tools and frameworks that are optimized for use in it's OS. Plus, if you need .NET on the Mac...run it in Windows/Bootcamp!

If it would just run the software that I need to do my job I would switch without a thought

True. If there is a business requirement and if the instrument is able to satisfy it with a higher-rated performance, we ought to, naturally, go for the same. I vote a '5' to this.
