I'd say get a Mac if you can afford it and dual boot. Best of both and all that.

I was going to stay out of this, but....
If you're going to dual boot, I would go with a windows machine. If you buy a mac, then add on a windows OS, you stuck with one of mac users' biggest downfalls- a total inability to upgrade your hardware. Additionally, you can find the same mac specs on a PC for buttloads cheaper. The only advantage to buying mac in this case would be that you get the sleeker design.
Finally, I thought I would add a plug for windows 7. It's awesome. The main point of this, though, was to inform you that starting around June 26th, those who buy a PC with Vista will be eligible for a significantly discounted Win7 upgrade. Current estimates are around $10 to upgrade. It is also good to note that Win7 currently looks to be far cheaper than vista all around, with prices around $75-$100 depending which of the three versions you are buying.
