I have had problems in the past with Windows. Every Rails tutorial I tried on Windows I would run in to problems. And spend hours trying to sort them out and find work arounds for windows specific issues. Try the same tutorial on a Mac and it would just work. The time I save using a Mac is well worth any slight premium. Actually my current windows laptop cost more than my macbook air. The air has more than enough power for developing web applications. Both Windows and Mac have their fan boys/camps. I use both, but prefer Mac for development.
