Most importantly....it does run POTC Online!! I found a nice one on Ebay a couple of years back.....still runs great. I mostly use my PC's on XP and Vista but still whip out the macbook every now and then.

The newer Intel based Macs can run windows very well either using dual boot with Bootcamp or as a virtual machine using virtualbox. Also since OSX is essentially a form of UNIX with a Mac interface it can run UNIX programs as well. So you can run more stuff on a Mac then a PC. The only thing between me and a Mac is the cost. I can get my needs met a lot more economically with a PC.
