mind telling us how much you built that beast for vb?
the mac pro is considered a workstation and can pretty much be spec'd the same... or even eight cores if you want, and boots OS X, XP, and can be made to boot pretty much any 'nix OS.
sure there are pros and cons to both PC and Macs, I use both and there are things which i always wish to swap over. i guess for any serious computer user it's what you need to do with a computer that dictates which platform you go for. to add in the geek factor people like me like the way apple pushes R&D unlike companies like Dell & HP etc...
the reasons i prefer macs over PC's in general is the OS (XP is good, but vista really is a trainwreck!), and the fact that apple makes the hardware and the software so they match up well, less things to go wrong. also, less (almost none) of that spyware and virus crap.
