@norm : Actually you can get the new 21,5″ and 27″ iMacs with i5 and i7 processors…and although i’ve been a PC user since i can remember, i have to admit the 27″ iMacs are definitely making me want to switch…

Keep in mind, a PC will be much cheaper spec for spec. And with PC’s you can have great multi-threaded performance with CPu’s like Core i7 or Phenom II series which really blow any dual core solution from Macs out of the water. Photoshop CS4 and most video editing software are heavily multi-threaded, the best you can get out of a IMac is a 3.06ghz dual core E8600. The only way around that is the MacPro series which can cost anywhere from $8000-$20,000. Also Windows 7 will sweeten the deal as many claim it to be superior to snow leopard. Lastly, do you game? If yes a Mac is out of the question.

I recently bought a new Mac Pro, and I kick myself everyday. Bottom line is that I thought I could run all of my older versions of Windows CS using VMWare Fusion, and, while that is true, VMWare only allows me to use a 256mb portion of my high end graphics card. To add to the problem, by version of CS4 is MAC, but I really lose out on the biggest feature of the upgrade: OpenGL: OpenGL is a software and hardware standard that accelerates video processing when working with large or complex images, such as 3D files. OpenGL requires a video adapter that supports the OpenGL standard. Your performance when opening, moving, and editing 3D models is significantly improved on a system with OpenGL installed. However, MACs only offer very limited graphics card options… 512mb in their top of the line models. ATI and NVidia make cards for Windows PCs as high as 2 GB, so you can really get a heck of a lot more performance out of CS 4 using a PC.
Don’t believe the hype about MACs never crashing either. Perhaps I’m just intolerant to change, but I’m wishing I’d have spent half the money on a 2x more powerful pc.

I have both and I have been working with both for a long time. Each have their strong and weak points but if I could only have one, I would have to say it would be a PC even considering how much I hate Vista.
Reasons:
Adobe software works the same on both platforms (Slightly better interface on PC. I hate the see-through desktop stuff)
There is a lot more software for PC still. There are some PC utilities I just can’t find for the Mac
File browsing is actually a bit better on PC in many cases, but debatable.
Cheaper. Definitely cheaper

But, you could do what I did: when I retired my old G3 to pasture I bought a Mac Mini and a KVM. It’ll set you back $1000 plus software. This will give you two powerful computers you can work on at all times with similar software. When you need to you can switch back and forth. I think every professional should have at least two top of the line (or so) computers that run the needed software.

I voted for PC.
According to what you wrote, it seems like there are more reasons to continue with what you know.
I know Mac’s are cool, but if it ain’t broke, why fix it?

Takes a little while to get used to, but I’m SO happy I made the switch almost four years ago. For me, one of the biggest issues was spyware and adware and all that junk, and I haven’t had a single issue with that stuff since! Also, if you do get a Mac, make sure you get the Apple Care Protection Plan. It’s the absolute best thing you can do – 3 years of full coverage. I’ve had one small issue and one big one, which I had no problem getting taken care of. After seeing what my family has to go through to get their Dell PCs fixed, I’m thankful that I can drop my baby off at the Apple store and not worry.

Plus, functionality is wonderful. I love that so many programs came with my iMac to begin with and I didn’t have to go through the process of acquiring them like any PC makes you do.

Also, Lightroom works on both Mac and PC, so all you’ll have to do is switch your catalog, and I think the Lightroom Killer Tips blog has a tutorial on how to do it.

Hope that helps!
