Level of security offered.
Ease of use of the Operating System - and the operating system provided. 
You can't get the average muppet in the street to use Solaris or IRIX, 
or even the advanced features of NT, but they'll deal with Mac OS X 
fine.
Marketing. That's the real biggie, of course; my PC is technically a 
server, but it's actually a pretty lame PC.

Either way, it's fairly pointless as an argument. I just don't 
understand why people feel the need to knock Apple for producing a 
Really Good Computer. There will always be something faster somewhere. 
Why not bring in supercomputers, or $15,000 workstations?
