Can of worms...

A lot of the special software I use at Uni (Computer Science Degree) needs it - i.e. Visual Studio etc.
For a long time I was a "Mac-hater" because on paper it just doesn't add up. I recently bought a MacBook Pro and i'm changed... it's not perfect, I'm not a fanboy, but I really like the speed / stability and the way the little bits about the OS work together (i.e. gestures - rubbish in Windows, awesome in OSX).
I wouldn't ever replace my desktop with a Mac, but I think I'd struggle to buy anything but an Apple laptop from now on - it's definitely not cheap, but for me it's worth it.

iTunes is unfortunately awful no matter what platform - the only saving grace is you only *need* to use it for syncing, for everything else you can just avoid it!
