Apple's the one that has strong ideas about how you should spend your money. PC makers listen and deliver a diversity of products.
Now, I'll grant that Apple products have advantages in terms of stability because there is less finger pointing when things go wrong -- you could get a mac laptop that sleeps correctly about 3-4 years before windows laptops got it right.
I don't see any real U.I. advantage on the Mac; if you try to put your photos in a movie, for instance, the Mac will drive you absolutely up the wall because it wants to make you look like a Shmuck who can't turn off the Ken Burns effect.
