Linspire or Mac OS X

I'm getting a new computer for my sister. I'm thinking of getting the new mini Mac since all she does is use the web and play a few games now and then. I did a search for lindows and it seems that it's switched to linspire. I noticed that they have many games and programs already included with the OS. She's not too computer savy so I want to get her something dependable and worry free so I'm leaning twords the mac, any comments?

I'd go for the Mac. Either Mini or iMac.

third on that one. my sis isn't too computer savvy, and i am buying her an ibook when she goes to school. i own an ibook and a bunch of pc's, but i find the mac to be the easiest for the non-computer types
