I'm a photography newbie, but I use both Macs and PCs a lot. When I'm actually in Lightroom (the only photo software I've used on both) I don't notice any difference in how the program operates.


However, when I'm doing anything else, the Macs are by far the better machines. The interface really is more intuitive, the operating system is much more stable, their customer support is the best I've encountered for any product or service, and, if you're actually comparing similarly equipped machines (same processor speeds, same amount of memory, yada yada) Macs are no more expensive than PCs. (There was an article on Slate or the NYT about this a few weeks ago.)
