Apple v IBM computers in Poland

I must admit I'm a Mac fan. I have the latest Macbook Pro 17" and don't regret spending the extra money.
I never had any problems related to any virus with my mac. And I have been a Mac user since 6 years ago. This is my third Mac. (I keep selling it to in order to buy a new one).
When I was running on Windows-based computer, I had to do a factory format every so often because of all the spyware and virus related problems that no amount of anti-virus softwares can protect.
Those problems are a thing of the past with Mac.
I'm sorry if the prices are so high that not everyone can afford them.
My opinion is, that I can not afford to have a computer that will slow me down due to a very inefficient OS.

Yeah, I've been much happier with my MBPro than I have been with all the PCs I've ever owned in my life (which is quite a few) but I do think it's hilarious that anti-Mac zealots get so adamant about offering me their unsolicited opinion about what they think of my platform of choice. I will admit that one of my deciding factors was that I've not had a PC in the workplace since at least 1999 (I'm a print designer) and it was real pain in the ass to try and move files back and forth between the two platforms; not all fonts are OpenType, after all. But now, after years of building Windows and Linux boxes, I just enjoy the solid hw/sw integration and the fact that I can spend more time getting stuff done vs farting around with my computer. Cost isn't that much of an issue; tools of my trade, thus justifiable expense.

Also, what's up with using GarageBand as an argument against the suitability of a Mac for music creation? It's a free app that comes with the OS, for crying out loud. Last time I checked, you could run Logic Pro, Cubase, Reason/Record or any number of DAWs, soft synths and weird little apps like AudioMulch just as well on a Mac as anything else. Not that it's inherently superior either, but let's at least be fair.

Ultimately, it boils down to getting what is appropriate to your needs and not getting sand in your vagina about what other people choose to do. Don't like it? Don't buy it.

Apple prices in Poland, well... that's another topic altogether.
