I use Windows Professional XP and a PDF workflow for CMYK printing and have never had any trouble. In fact it has been better than when I used a Mac. The other benefits are of course web development. Windows is king of the internet. It can't be beat for the everyday user. Also you will save alot of money using a Windows machine and you won't even notice a power/speed difference. Windows has many advantages over the Mac. In fact with a PDF workflow I see no reason to pay the premium prices for a Mac system. CMYK print works great on a Windows machine! I love my Windows machine and will never go back to the niche player Mac has become. Why? Because you pay out the nose for belonging to that limited niche of Mac users.
All because Adobe didn't write their software up to Apple snuff (again). I will continue to avoid the lemming, excuse me, teaming hordes using Windows. Also avoiding their viruses, their intrusiveness, & their cheapness over good interface design. I don't mind paying more for what Apple gives me, even when it is 'admittedly' a little less in one area. Now, maybe if Apple were to develop OSX, Safari, iCal, iSync, iPhoto, and FinalCut for windows... I might think of changing hardware. Naaah.

Hey, welcome to the real world.
One trick pony
