I don't understand - maybe you guys can shed some light on this question.

Is it the way the operating system is built? Or is it just the proprietary software that Apple makes? If so, What can iPhoto (or i"Whatever") do that is so much better than photoshop?

What can a Mac movie making software do that a Windows based software can't?

I've used Mac OSX and many of its predicesors and don't understand the advantage.

Between the smug apple ads on TV and the equally smug Photography Instructor at my high school, I would like to know, why are they "so much better than a PC"
