how come Adobe delayed 64-bit Photoship on the Mac until CS5, and yanked Premiere from that platform entirely? :(

PCs can do the same things.

Windows operating system may be superficial crap but the money is in the applications. That's why most people stick with it despite it all (apart from 'ease of use' and/or other claims). I dinked around with two Linux distros -- I'll never use SUSE again and people were whining about x, y, and z regarding Fedora. Enough to scare me off. Since I'm going to get my Bachelor's degree, the student discount might make the Mac properly affordable. Until then, I'll limp with Windows; Vista has some unwieldy quirks, but for better or for worse I tend to tinker in ways most don't...

Indeed, Apple would suit itself better in the long run to open up its operating system, as it works on a lot of PC hardware already. (Like Linux, FreeBSD, BeOS, et al).
