In one instance, there is a distinct advantage: if you want to use OS X then you know what you will be getting hardware-wise.
In the Windows' world, there are an untold number of hardware vendors. Even though the OS is the same, the experience with the whole system can vary dramatically from excellent to so frustrating you want to through the thing through the window (no pun intended).

John put it best. In this business, you want a stable money making machine. I use Premiere on windows, and learned this lesson the hard way. While whining about all kinds of CS3 issues on two well known systems, others are having good results. There's simply too much in configuration and compatibilities that can go wrong. I don't have the time to play IT in order to meet a deadline. Time wasted on forums and dealing with PC issues is money lost.
Out of the Box, the Mac's will hit the floor running. I know, I use both, with the exception of editing. That is going to change. I'm switching to FCP on macpro. I'll glady exchange plugins and eye candy for good solid editing.
I quit making this a Mac vs Windows thing. I'll just use both.
