Advantages Apple computers are much more secure than Windows PCs. Viruses, designed for a Windows-based processor simply will not run on a Mac. The people who make Mac software are the same people who make the Mac hardware so it reliable. You can always get bootcamp which will allow you to install a copy of XP on a partition on your Mac It is not popular like windows so it is not more target

Conclusion it all depends what kind of need you have. If you are a home user u can go with windows. If performance is what you want and u have to handle huge volume of data then Solaris would be a good option. But if u want best graphics user interface then u will go with Mac OS.
