It would also help if you were comparing apples to apples - like if the Windows machine also had a SSD. One of the troubles with Macs is that everything is so damned proprietary (and pretentious). Like, one NEEDS the iChair, iDesk (or iLap iCooler interface), and the iCup/iMug in order for it to run.
Personally, I'd still be running Linux if it ran the software I wanted/needed - such as, Juice Calculator, Directory Opus (A HUGE, MASSIVE one), and Lightroom. But after trying to go without such software, I just had too much trouble getting along with it. So I just went back to Windows. ... I've always had a thing with supporting the underdogs, like Commodore (C64 & Amiga), and Microsoft. Crap, did I actually just say Microsoft was an underdog here?!? 8O
