Bert,
Don't know what constitutes 'wasting money' for you, but to me it makes sense to buy a system with a commitment to open standards (and quite a lot of open source as well) rather than one which seems to have as its goal the sabotaging of open standards for the purpose of ensuring that the majority stays locked into its proprietary world.
The most compliant browsers, including the default one, are found on the Mac. As this list has so often said, develop first for standards, and then figure out what needs to be done to the code to address IE shortcomings.
Just my 2c.

I don't know how my site looks on a Mac (I don't have one and am not going
to waste my money on one), but it's to be expected.
