IMHO, In the MAC Vs XP battle I need to state that when it comes to functionality XP equals or betters OSX in many areas. Please refer to this site
X vs XP for additional info.
But MAC sweeps XP in terms of GUI. I wudnt say its just eye candy though. Mac i think is more focussed on professionals rather than daily users. And mind you all those apps arent shipped along with the OS. you need to shell out to get what u need. But the value they give has been commensurate.
On the other hand XP ships with many apps built in but with huge compromise on quality as it targets average home user. But MS is losing a major point. As the average user's awareness and knowledge and wants increases he expects more value for what he pays. So in my opinion if in the future versions of MS's OS they tend to slack they might be out of business soon.
