Troy summarizes the difference between a Mac system and a Windows system:

I think Windows is like a bit like a Tamagotchi, if you don't stroke it, it whines and gets flakey, while Mac OS knows its place in the world and lets us work.

He also links to this, which compares the two (from InformationWeek). For the Windows fanboys ready to show up and tell me I'm full of it - I have relatives with Macs, and other relatives with Windows. None of them are highly technical. Want to take a wild guess at which relatives I don't ever have to play system doctor for?
