It the moment OSX Panther is defiantly the best operating system. Its is the piece of software to start Microsoft's downfall.
Its has a very trendy, modern and usable interface which is easily to modify to your own visual liking.
Intel Apple have never been as popular as PCs, except in media or design business, and most people generally steered clear due to a lack of software available and having never used it. This however should all start to change as Panther is not only incredibly easy to use, but with the power of Apple computers it is posable to have the best of both world and run OSX Panther and Windows XP at the same time using Virtual PC.
Like Windows it also comes with a few arcade style games and a word processing package which also includes a drawing, painting, spread sheet and database programs.
MACs own web browser is called Safari, and although mac also has Microsoft Internet Explorer, Safari can be up to four times faster loading pages.
Apple Works can seem slightly daunting at first if you are used to Microsoft Office, but you will soon find that it is probably easier to use.
Transferring documents from MAC to Windows is some times a problem, but this can be sorted out with Virtual PC(which i mentioned earlier) or by saving a document as a PDF file. There is also a piece of software available called iWORK 05 with which files can be saved as a Microsoft Powerpoint file.
Overall it is a near perfect system with none of the flaws XP has. It does not crash when too many windows are open ect. . .
You will enjoy using this system and be glad to be rid of Windows.
ps. ive hade a comment from someone saying they would like to know which software is avalable on it. so id sike to make it clear again.
Mac itself has limited software avalable. Lots and lots of design and editing stuff and there is a company called macsoft which formates pc games for mac. The program i talked about earlier called virtualPC enable you to use both mac and mindows software. so therefor you can use anything really provided you are not too worried about putting XP on a Mac whick to be honest is something i am going to try and aviod because I can imagine XP causing problems.

and created innovative management tools to make it easy to provide powerful standards-based server solutions. With over 150 new features, including centralized directory and authentication for Mac and Windows clients, Mac OS X Server is a comprehensive platform that is ideal for corporate and educational institutions. This 10-client edition of Apple's award-winning UNIX-based server operating system is the easiest way to deploy powerful Internet, network and small workgroup services. Mac OS X Server is available in 10-client and Unlimited-client editions to meet the needs of your organization. Client restrictions apply only to simultaneous file sharing services for Mac and PC clients. The Mac OS X Server 10-client edition is designed for small workgroups and Internet hosting services that do not require simultaneous file sharing to more than 10 Mac and PC clients. Cross-platform file and print services Native file and print services for Mac, Windows and Linux are built-in so you can give everyone access to storage space on the server and shared Postscript and raster (inkjet) printers. You can even host home directories on the server, allowing users to access their documents and personal settings from any platform, anywhere on the network. Per-user disk and print quotas allow you to manage use of network resources across your organization. Directory services and authentication Mac OS X Server features Open Directory 2, a robust, scalable directory services architecture based entirely on open standards. The integrated authentication authority uses Kerberos to provide strong authentication and single sign-on to authorized network resources.

Open Directory 2 can be replicated across multiple network servers for scalability and maximum service availability.
