I dunno. They edit video better? In fact any multimedia work (audio, graphical, photographic, video or film) is generally easier on a Mac.
Also, in a lab environment, they are *far* easier than Windows to administer. For instace, when we set the labs up again, I can sit there at my desk, and order every Mac to shutdown, reboot, wipe itself and re-install the O/S. It will then add itself to the Uni's Active Directory domain and set up admin rights accordingly. Windows can do that, as long as you use a Microsoft DHCP server, or reconfigure the DHCP server that you do use.
I'll admit that none of that is important for the average user (well, apart from the fact that the OS supports "ghosting" natively, unlike Windows, so you can easily copy a working OS back from disc if you should mess things up).
