Actually, that is no longer true with the intel dual processor machines.
These can operate windows software as well as Mac software, thus the best of
both worlds is available. The machine has bootcamp software installed which
allows starting up windows OS/windows software. There are more sophisticated
versions of this on Open Source Mac software. So, if macs offer better
graphics performance and this is a computer to work with photographs, then
there is less reason not to choose a mac for that purpose. (Also, macs have
less of an issue with viruses and other attacks, less not 100% less, but
less.)

Toodle-pip,
