Extensive features exclusive only to Apple can only help persuade one in addition to the stable environment.

Anyone considering purchasing a new computer should seriously consider an Apple computer running
Parallels Desktop for Mac 3.
With that, you can now run intensive 3D graphics programs and games for Windows at practically native speeds on your Apple computer. So you really can run Inventor through Parallels while booted into Mac OS X. (With Parallels, you can run Windows apps without having to reboot into Windows.)
Purchasing an Apple computer nowadays is not as "locking in" as what it used to be back in the day. Now they are just as flexible - OS and software wise - as any other manufacturer (like HP, Toshiba, Dell, Sony, etc.), but have the added bonus of the Mac OS X operating system and iLife software suite. (Plus Apple has great customer service.)
