Of course, there's also which OS you would prefer to use, if stability
is not an issue.  I personally favor the Mac, hardware- software- and
OS-wise, but some of my reasons may not apply to most people (I'm a
professional musician, for one).

Which begs two questions:

1)  How much of the available software will you actually use?
2)  How much of the available software is any good?

Everything I do on a computer, I find I would rather do on a Mac, with
the exception of a few games I play that aren't available for the Mac.
It's partly because of the quality of Mac-specific software, and partly
because the Mac is better-suited for some of those tasks, but it's also
partly because I even find the Mac more aesthetically pleasing (and I'm
not talking about all the fruity iMac colors).  It may not sound very
important, but it makes using a computer that much more enjoyable for
me.

But again, that's a personal preference, YMMV.

Then again, I don't know how much all this matters to you (the original
poster);  how often would you be running Linux again?  :)
