Apple have adamantly stated that they're not going to
allow MacOS to run on non-Apple computers, and they're
apparently going to use some kind of DRM hardware to
try to enforce it. Given the history of DRM in the
computer industry, though, I don't see how it will
hold out for more than a couple of months. (CSS, Linux
on the XBOX...) Indeed, drivers may be the biggest
stumbling block.
As to the original question, a Mac is a nice toy, but
you have to pay twice the price of a regular PC for
comparable performance. A toy for rich people. :-)
