There are dozens of ways to explore the differences, and not everyone will care about the same things. But a data point I haven't seen yet is total ownership time. I have literally had my Power Mac dual G5 for over 5 years. And although I finally upgraded it recently to an Intel Mac, it took me a long time to decide if this was even necessary. My "old" machine still works beautifully, and I simply moved it to a different room. I have other reasons to like Macs of course, but I know plenty of people constantly upgrading PCs and it wouldn't surprise me if over 6 years I have spent less on computers than they have.
