Well to be completely honest, on a PC you can run two useable operating systems. Windows and some Linux.
On a modern day mac you can run Linux distro's, Windows and Mac OS. So when it comes to choice of OS's, go for the mac. But you probably don't want to use MacOS as you're used to the software you use now. So why spend more money. I don't think it will be of any use to you

Hmmm, I'd probably use a seperate PC for those plug ins. But then I don't mind having three PC's standing in one room

As far as other every-day-use software, I'm willing to use newer versions if necessary, and am not worried about that.

Be aware, you may run into some 'upgrades' of software that really suck.
Brings me back to Mac OS

Since Mac OS 10.6, when you select multiple files and click the right mouse button to go to 'file info', it will open a little window with file info for every ****ing file you selected. I want to know how big these files are together.
Lucky me, I tried this first with 310 files. So I had 310 little windows I had to close. Thank god for cmd+w. But then this is a Mac so it has to be animated beautifully... So altough the Core i7 is quick enough to get rid of all those windows within the blink of an eye, very single one had to go into the dock smoothly... *sigh*... Design over practicality...
I found out later that you have to press command shift I or something now. Well that's fine, but I still think this:
Is the best way to do it
