Indeed, that was a fanboy rant. I'm positive you haven't looked into any other OSs and as such just aren't open to change.

You pay $1500~ for reliability, and in some cases familiarity. I used to be all anti-Mac but really that's because all I ever used was Windows. If you ever get into a position whereupon you are forced to use a Mac for an extended period of time, your Mac homophobia will disintergrate.
I did have to work with Macs this year and will have to work with them even more next year. I have experience with them but I simply like a PC better because you can stuff so much more power into it than a Mac will ever have, which is simply the most important part in video editing (rendering a video will in turn render your entire platform useless since it uses every single bit of CPU).

On my school though, I have to choose between a network model HP computer (one of those things schools order in bulk and which are slow as fuck) and a set of the latest iMacs. Obviouslly I'll edit my videos on the iMac, thank you very much. But if it were to go between an iMac and my own custom built computer, my Windows machine would win on every front.

Going a bit off topic here, maybe split this topic into a Mac vs PC debate?
