I'm tired and short on time, so I'll answer these quickly:
1. Possibly, depending on how much you depend on Windows programs.
2. Various programs, like Garageband, which you'll like.
3. Unless you severly screw it up, yes.

My Apple has never crashed for the three years I've had it, I have never gotten a virus and so it's definitely more stable than any PC.

They come with more software than PC's do, it's not fantastic software obviously, but it's fun to play with and it's helpful.

Lastly, you can now officially run Windows XP on the new Intel Mac's, so you can get the awesome Mac OSX OS and keep Windows XP for buisness or whatever else you need it for.

you have to reboot twice a month? whatever OS you're running you should reboot at least once a week. i try to reboot every 4 days, my ET server reboots every day at 5am
