Both of my brothers have Macs, my niece uses Macs, almost every creative type that I know uses a Mac............but, I don't, sadly.
I
don't use a Mac primarily because I don't want to cough up the big $, secondarily because I am not keen to learn a new operating system.
Color me envious of Mac owners.

Same for me though I enjoy the simplicity and familiarity of my older Windows OS. Have three friends that I know of right now that have gotten new computers recently and every one of them is disgusted with Vista. I asked about getting a new computer with XP installed but they won't sell any that way and I guess you'd have to either use your old install disks to get rid of the Vista or go with a Mac, which is becoming more and more probable as the days pass....
Maybe one of these Linux platforms is the way to go? I haven't a clue beyond knowing I DON'T require or desire all the "bells and whistles".

Linspire is the easiest Linux to learn. Ubuntu is the most popular desktop Llinux and is easier than other Linux distributions.
