If you intend to game on the movie, don't go for a Mac because they require either 1) specifically bought Mac compatible games (which aren't massively available) or 2) the knowledge of how to aquire and install an emulator such as virtual desktop. On a laptop you don't really want to be wasting time, space and memory on sorting out an emulator unless you have good knowledge of it already. If you want to game, go for Alienware. If not, go for Mac - OSX is a stable system whereas Vista is new and you'd be looking at seeing a lot of security updates. Yes, you do get virus' for Mac but they're much harder to come across. Pretty much all the "incredible new features" that Vista users boast have already been on OSX for a number of years.

Most programmes you'd buy from a shop. BUT - a lot of officey programmes (eg Photoshop) will sell Mac counterparts, it's just games where you'd be having problems, as I mentioned you can get a windows emulator. As for things such as Microsoft Office, yes you can get it for Mac but why waste the time/money when you can also come across open source programmes that are free to download and mostly come in whichever system you're using. Or download it illegally.
