That's something only people with Macs say. iTunes is a piece of crap, photoshop runs on both OS's, and Windows Movie Maker is comparable feature-wise to iMovie. The Mac programs just dumb it down to make it "accessible".
Also, I'm pretty sure that by "music", TBM wants to listen to music on his laptop. Just get one with Altec Lansing speakers.
