granted Macs are gravy... the easiest to use machines, and quite capable, but I still don't necessarily recommend them unless you have software that requires them.

because it gets quite complicated when Windows users want to share stuff with Mac users and vice versa. That's where the geek help comes in... if I had a dollar for every time the 2 or 3 people I know with macs who aren't in media came to me asking why they can't see/use/do something a windows user has sent them, I'd be rich.

I think Macs are perfect for people who have applications that need the mac OS, and for those who won't be interfacing a whole lot with the windows world.

As much as I love macs, I have a hard time recommending them for the single fact that they aren't the defacto standard OS...and that has limitations.
