From what I hear vista gets like 99% less viruses then XP making its virus level around the same as what the old mac OS tiger was at. Don't know about the new mac OS.
The truth is that back in the day Macs were better built then PC's so their extra cost was justified. Not so much the case now, as their specs are the same. Get the PC or you'll wind up paying not only extra $$$ for not only the Mac brand name but then you'll pay $$$ again to get the M$ products you'd get for free on a Dell.
Unless you don't want MS word etc.
