Get your Mac now. Because it's not like you have anything else to run except Safari....
If you set user permissions in Windows, it'll be as equally secure as any Mac box. If you setup Windows properly.. it's perfect as well as easy to use.
If you're really paranoid, save your money. I wouldn't get a Mac, I'd buy a cheap Dell or whatever (heck, build your own computer for 500$ if you already have a screen) and install Fedora or Mandrake or whatever the hell you want to install. As long as it's a Linux distro.
The problem with Apple IMO is that you pay a lot for the hardware. OSX rocks, the hardware is still eh though unless you want to start spending big bucks
Edit: I'm not sure why I quoted the buffer overflow post.. I really don't remember. I think I wanted to quote the message about getting the mac right now before they suck. Why would they suck? Because they got faster (therefore better?) hardware? I find that reply baseless, sorry.
