same here.
Works really well, considering mac's one down fall: heavy programing based math tools... -.- Here I use win. But for music, stay away from win unless you wan't to spend hours tweaking it to bit's...

So one macbook pro for music and one hp laptop for math (internet, malware, vira, and other sorts of entertainment)!

If you get Ashampoo's Winoptimizer you can tweak your system in about 10 minutes.

MAc is based of a UFS or Unix kernal and is vastly superior to Microsofts NTFS, however the cost for a Mac Pro is just too high for me to justify. I have made a MAc Clone and had amazing success
I7 hdmi and esata 2 hard drives in a lappie for sub 1200

i have 2 macbook pros, both on the road with me and ready to run any project, should one die or run away.

Let's see... I got a new 17' MBP dedicated for running Live and Logic, Before that an ADK PC running Nuendo now being used solely for sample playback and a lil bit of mixing since it still houses 2 UAD1 cards. I got a Dell Laptop for financing, email and Office duties, got a Mac Mini in the kitchen for the kids and an iPad for the wife. To totally geek out, I have also 2 selfbuilt HTPCs for movies one in the family room and the other in my dedicated Home Theater. Oh, and a unRAID box for storage and mediaserver duties.

I only got one Axe, and she's finely tuned.
