Completely different operating systems.
Any comparisons would be remote and superficial. For instance, the ability to have multiple programs open and have the "windows" snap to a workable arrangement on the screen. Something that doesn't really get me excited on either my MAC or PC.
Macs are almost completely immune to malicious attacks. You don't need anti-virus software. If a Mac is compromised, it is almost always because the user opened the door. Hence, it is advisable to create an "administrator account" and then run a "user account" so that nothing is ever downloaded or installed without permission first.
If you run Windows on a Mac using bootcamp, the Windows programs will be susceptible to all of the problems of a PC. The other option is running Microsoft programs made for Mac. I admit that I use MS Word and Entourage mail for Mac.
Also, if you use PaintShop, there is no Mac version.
