You can always run the Snow Leopard operating system on a PC if you prefer it over Windows too.


You can purchase a Mac without a monitor, the MacMini and the MacPro. Also, all Mac's have an additional video output to connect an extra monitor.


You can only run Mac OS X on a Mac or a "rigged" PC (which I wouldn't recommend).


The best part about the Mac is the same people design the hardware and the software. Things just seem to work on a Mac.
