I had an opportunity to play around with MAC-OS laptops when during my onshore assignment to TX. A few of the good things are:

1) Just a single-button mouse


Not anymore. All Macs come with a 5 button mouse now. Of course, you could use just about any mouse you want on a Mac.

2) Cool desktop (or does it look cool because of the first-time view)


No, it's cool. It's funny to me how many Windows pundits dismiss the Apple OS because it is visually refined. Some of these people would never consider driving an ugly car...but insist on using Windows. Weird.

3) "An apple a day keeps doctor away" -- Lesser security vulnerabilities and more resilent OS to keep off from unwanted technical support calls and computer downtime.


True. I've been a Mac user for 8+ years now. I don't run anti-virus; I don't have a firewall; I've never had a single virus, spyware, or other mal-ware problem. Also, Consumer Reports has rated Apple Support as one of the best in the business. (Dell is one of the worst)
