Why wait for Apple to release OS X for the PC, it can already be done. See this guide...

You seem to have got your descriptions mixed up. When I was watching the Leopard introduction video, I saw a number of well thought through applications, with the benefits largely derived from how well the standard Apple apps integrate with each other. However, you have far more choice on how to accomplish certain tasks on a Windows machine. If you're happy with the way that Apple does things then you'll be fine, but when it comes to customisation you've got more resources with Windows.
For example, I could use an external HD, ZipSnap for backups (
http://zipsnap.sourceforge.net/), and then write a simple app to get the same functionality of the Time Machine feature. Probably wouldn't be as flashy, but it would get the job done.
As for Apple being the new Amiga, can't say I see it. Amiga was a strong platform back in the day in terms of hardware and software, but also in terms of flexibility (through customisation of h/w and s/w). Apple has the software part about right, but as Hans pointed out where's the detailed documentation for the platform?
Just IMO of course.
