I dont want to start an OS war here but just wanting to know

are Macs really as good as people say? I havent used a Mac since 1998 which I don't remember much. I've also had a quick play with Mac OSX Tiger which seemed pretty nice.

On the Internet most people rave on about how Macs are the holy grail of computers.. Is this true? They looked really nice and I've looked at the Apple site and it seems to be a pretty good stable OS.

I actually know alot about Macs like they are built on UNIX, use their own hardware etc etc

Some people despise Macs some people love them.. it doesnt really make sense.

But what makes them so good besides that? Or why would I choose a Mac over Linux?

Linux suits my needs but can Mac do some super thing which I cant? Mind you I dont do anything more than what Linux offers I'm just curious, considering they are expensive.

Cheers
